rootfs update: only modules from packages!

Hello,

I've almost finished my work to replace all the rootfs module files by
files from module packages! (read this twice as it's not very clear):

http://michaelo.free.fr/pda/ipaq/starterkit/rootfs_apr6h.tar.bz2 (as
soon as I manage to upload it!)

Actually, some modules are still missing (like evdev), but the main ones
are there.

Soon, you will no longer have to download whole rootfs.tar.bz2 files to
update your iPAQ. You will just need to run "ipkg upgrade
<module-package-name>".

If you need packages for new modules, you can generate them by running:

<kernel_src_dir>/scripts/ipkg-make-kernel2.6-packages <kernel_src_dir>
2.6.3-hh2 ipaqpxa

... and then install them by hand. I can also take care of releasing
them on the 2.6 feed: http://familiar.handhelds.org/feeds/2.6/ (you will
see that some modules are still empty boxes).

This way, all the other Linux 2.6 based projects will be able to reuse
our work and address other issues (good for us!).

    :-)

    Michael.
