There seems to be a "RedHat" project that is trying to address this issue. A description of "ddiskit" from http://people.redhat.com/linville/ddiskit/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The raison d'etre for ddiskit is to ease the burden (and encode the magic) of making Device Driver Update Disks for Red Hat originated distributions (i.e. RHEL and FC) based on the 2.6 (and beyond?) series of Linux kernels. ddiskit fills the same need which Doug Ledford's Device Driver Update Disk Devel Kit filled for prior generations of Red Hat distributions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Connie Sieh Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory On Wed, 10 Aug 2005, Bryan J.
