no need now, thanks. My primary purpose was to figure out again all
the pieces of the puzzle, so we can document everything when spip or
whatever is up and running. That remains the highest priority. What we
have learned here is that we probably have to rebuild (after the
website) a RULE developer kit in a tarball with just busybox and a
scripts which recreates all the links. For the record, even the
filesystem/sbin an filesystem/usr/bin folders are made like this, so
the devel tarball could be much smaller.

Contradicting myself: *if* you have time, after working on the
website, I could really use a RULE ISO for Red Hat 9, with latest
kernel from RH, for the install fest I'll attend to next saturday (see
my other message here). I have the standard RH9 cdroms, and could ask
some friend to download this one. Otherwise no problem, I'll have him
download the slinky-something iso you already put online.

Ciao,
