I was following the klibc dicussion list, but the archiver went slient after August. I like the idea in general, but I wasn't sure where this was going. It looked like the discussion there was going for replacing the do_mounts with the kernel uncpio/uncompress followed by a bunch of small utilities and scripts. I had some other ideas that I played with, but depend on starting with a single binary to make a lot of sense (going for the multi-call binary base approach). (This would leave the initrd file for the user space). If there is some place to get a preview I would appreciate it. Thanks, milton
