You can use a huge initrd, too. If you configure your vmlinuz with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=49152 then you can put all you want in the initrd.img Just boot and enjoy it. The main advantage is you don't need the cdrom after booting! Have fun. thomas. -- Thomas Baumann // Postfach 110115 // D-64216 Darmstadt // <tom@xxxxxxx>
