just today, i decided to check out the kernel-BOOT rpm that comes with red hat, and the info on that rpm states that it includes a trimmed-down version of the kernel that's used on the installation boot disks only, since it doesn't have a lot of the standard features. fair enough, but what's the purpose of having that rpm around? what would you use it for? i've been playing with the boot images for a while now, and i've never had that RPM installed. what exactly would i do with it? i notice that that rpm comes with a truckload of pre-compiled modules, far more than one finds on any of the install disks. so what's the story behind this rpm? rday p.s. sorry if this is OT for this list, but it seemed at least tangentially related to anaconda. -- Robert P.
