Hi,

> I've been following your zipit progress on your blog, and am interested in
trying out your new tree. Did you happen to cache your irc session where you
set up your new kernel with the old fatroot method? I successfully built then
extracted to the ext3 side of SD, however the z2script.sh is failing (bad
newroot /sysroot).

There is a new, better way of doing things using a z2script hack to flash the
new kernel. Check it out at
http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/openzipit/index.php?title=AutoFlasher_Soft\
ware

Get the software from the SF site (AutoFlasher, kernel and userland).
A newer kernel should be available soon which fixes wifi issues (under the
original wifi firmware, the new firmware seems troublesome). It should have been
up already but RL has interfered somewhat :).

Check out the wiki, some more info has been added.
