I'll have a look at the GRUB documentation. I remember now that I stopped using LibraNet's pre-packaged kernels because of a problem I caused with its initrd. I created an unbootable system. I understand now the purpose of initrd; I've just never used it myself. The kernels I've been building with make-kpkg have never required an initrd, so is there much benefit to studying how to do it? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
