So we're three, right? Wow, Do you think once usb is in we will still be 
under (512-64)*1024? This is pretty cool.

Stupid question: a friend tells me there is a way to get a kernel build 
that results in a Giant Elf that has kernel, initrd, command line in one 
blob. Is this true ? I had not seen this (well, I've seen it on Plan 9, 
but not on Linux).

thanks
