Thanks for this pointer. I have been "rolling my own" the hard way for a long time, and have not explored the Debian kernel packaging stuff for building. And I read the docs on initrd's once or twice some time ago, and decided to try to avoid them. But now I guess it's time to bite the bullet.

Sorry I can not give a better answer, but initramfs-tools is almost a must for making initrds unless you are using yaird. regards > > Rylan > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- The Moon is Waxing Crescent (33% of Full) Only 10 kinds of people: those who do binary, and those who do not.
