Any suggestions for improved wording? This is what is there now: ====================================================================== You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version $version) This will not work unless you have configured your boot loader to use initrd. ====================================================================== People running lilo also get this message: ====================================================================== As a reminder, in order to configure lilo, you need to add an 'initrd=/initrd.img' in your /etc/lilo.conf ====================================================================== Everyone gets this: ====================================================================== I repeat, You need to configure your boot loader. If you have already done so, and you wish to get rid of this message, please put `do_initrd = Yes' in /etc/kernel-img.conf. ====================================================================== Some lilo users, who have this line in lilo.conf, get warned: ====================================================================== In addition, the line "ramdisk = 0" should be removed or commented. ====================================================================== (non lilo users do not get the lilo specific message, of course). manoj -- We're here to give you a computer, not a religion. attributed to Bob Pariseau, at the introduction of the Amiga Manoj Srivastava <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.debian.org/%7Esrivasta/> 1024R/C7261095 print CB D9 F4 12 68 07 E4 05 CC 2D 27 12 1D F5 E8 6E 1024D/BF24424C print 4966 F272 D093 B493 410B 924B 21BA DABB BF24 424C
