How do you solve this ? I have myself, when creating the kernel package, extracted all the part of the kernel build tree needed to embed the initrd in the kernel and put it in a separate (kernel-build-<kver>-<flavour>) package. Would this work for you also, or would it be problematic ? Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
