Ärende: Versioning
==================
When I first cloned POD I wanted to use Trinux but its linuxrc was
buggy, and the site isn't well maintained.  I used Knoppix to do the
clone, but want to go back to a version of Trinux that will work.  Along
the way from POD's 2.4.20 (one of my glitches) to 2.4.31 in version 1 of
POD, I saved all the modules/kernel from 2.4.21 because that was used in
the version of Trinux that worked best.  Franz says he got programs from
Slackware 7.1 or "Debian stable" (Woody???).  What I'm using in POD,
because it's from LFS, are source tarballs from Gentoo distfiles.

I think I can now go back to fixing Trinux' linuxrc.  I'm not falimiar
with Slack/Debi.  If I need to add some general utility programs that
might be missing, is there likely to be a problem using ones I have from
Gentoo?  Does Slack/Debi diddle their code to make it nonstandard in
ways that would trip-up other utilities?  (Pretty UNlikely, I'd think.)

Of course, my programs are compiled in 2.4.31, so I may have to upgrade
kernel & modules to make that work, but I'd like do try one change at a
time instead of one swell foop.

p.s. What am I doing the work on?  My original RHL6.1 host for POD, of
course!  Is that enough different versions of stuff?  (POD's 2.4 kernel
doesn't have loop-back block-device support currently, and I'm not sure
it needs to.)
