Hey Russell!

Welcome to Linux 2.6.15

There is more but the above ought to give an idea.  Also it looks like /sys is
now automagically mounted and I'll try later by hashing it out in /etc/fstab. 
Also also I'll hash out /proc and see how far I can get without it.  My guess is
that much of the networking stuff will bitch and complain about that.  Not sure
about pcmcia yet as I notice some stuff regarding pcmcia_cs at kernel.org so
liberating that from proc may be doable at this stage of the game.  However I am
betting myself that I still need /proc for the time being even if I do manage to
get away with liberating pcmcia from /proc.

Also also also I want to try and see if directfb will work with sysfs.  I've
yet to be able to do that.  However I think I'll try X before I do that.  Do you
care about the gtk stuff?  I figure I can live without it if I run blackbox or
windowmaker or simular window managers that only require X and it's basic
dependancies.  What do you think?

Life is good,
Maurice
