Ok, it's a nice goal anyway.

mmm. But Etch isn't to be released soon ;-)

What I don't understand well is : did you modify the squashfs sources to be
able to build the module out of tree, or is it the 2.6.15 kernel which let you
do it ?
And do you think the same source (out of tree) could compile with a 2.4 kernel ?

        Thanks for your advices,
                Fred.
