not technically kernel-related but i remember the days that external initrd images used to be ext2-format images that had to be mounted. these days, both fedora and debian are using cpio-format initrd images. is it safe to say that that's pretty much the new standard? are any current distros still sticking with ext2-format initrds? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
