The kernel has be upgraded from 2.0.39 to 2.2.20 (patched for bzip2 kernel and ramdisk loading). Ext2 tools, fdisk, PCMCIA, rescuept, and busybox have been upgraded to the current versions. For now, only vi is included (emacs didn't fit), only PCMCIA network cards work (SCSI has been moved to the add-ons), and some other stuff didn't fit.
This release includes ext2fs sparse superblock and
filetype support, DAC960 Mylex RAID controller
support, removal of dmsdos and dutil support,
upgrades to pax, tar, and cpio to read SVR4 cpio
formats, upgrades to the ntfs filesystem version,
anb md5 sum capability to tomshexd, a fix for
undeb-- and unrpm-- minimal package extraction, a
static-compiled fdformat and fdflush in the
install archive, a new version of ext2fs (1.19), a
fix for socket extraction in pax, tar, and cpio,
as well as a vfat segfault fix. This release now
uses kernel 2.0.39-final, however lies about the
kernel version as a workaround for a small issue.
