>And what do dpkg and aptitude think now? They still showed the file, it wasn't forgotten as the previous reply stated it would be. For some reason, it did finally go ahead and get through the installation. Not sure what file needed it's head examined. >Also, why do you think make-kpkg called >mkinitramfs?
