This is nonsense. We don't _have_ "multiple expensive computations" for RAID etc, as the very first time an initrd is actually generated is when the kernel image gets installed. Current order is: - install mdadm, lvm2 etc. - install initramfs-tools - install kernel => generate initrd During "install extra packages" nothing actually happens as all relevant packages *have already been installed* !!! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
