Sure, no problem.

Yeah, I ran into that pesky little detail.  Luckily it's a reasonably fast host.

I simply copied the config and left all the options as is for now.

This is the diff I got with 2.6.16-2:

I build the package and also rootstrap, and installed both packages.  I got
numerous warnings from the kernel but not having build this before for all
I know this is "normal".  But no problem whatsoever so far. :-)

Tomorrow I'll build an image after I've got the networking setup.  The first
image build of course got stuck on that.

Thanks,
Ardo
