"Still don't know what I was waiting for" --D. Bowie
I have a suggestion for the Changes file. The kernel dependency information at the top of the file should be moved to the top of the installation section of the main README file. The top-level README is much more visible, and the installation section is the first place newbies (like me) will look.
The kernel dependency information is best expressed as a parent-child relationship, with some kind of diagram or chart. This way we can see not only which programs need to be in place, we can also see any temporal dependencies (e.g., part A must be installed before part B).
Personal note: Please try to keep in mind that most programmers, like me, are not kernel hackers. We need you folks to point us in the right direction when we start rebuilding kernels. We're trying to work with you to make the world safe for Linux (or is it vice-versa?) Please be patient with us. (Read: keep the flame to a bare minimum.)
Thanks, Scott Miller stmiller@crosslink.net
