Turns out your "experimental CD" was just what I needed. I haven't |
| 36 |
gone through and studied the differences in the configs yet, but I |
| 37 |
snagged the 2.6.16 kernel config out of /proc/config.gz after booting |
| 38 |
to the CD. I was able to use that (enabling the necessary SELinux |
| 39 |
features of course) to get a bootable kernel. Now I am well on my way |
| 40 |
to having an SELinux sparc system (on the 3rd page of the how-to ;-) )! |
| 41 |

Thanks for the help. (And continue the good work!) |
