Please also feel free to ask Shilp for further information. I don't see how this relates to the kernel at all, as you can do this already with no changes needed to the kernel. Or am I missing something here? I think others have already done this very thing, Shilp, how does this differ from offerings like the opensuse build system, and the different tools out there that will build a distro "on demand" from what you ask it to include (rPath, suse studio, knopix, etc.) thanks, greg k-h
