To answer doogies's question: There is a initrd-tools package that makes the initrd used to boot the fully installed debian system every time it boots up (until you build a monolithic kernel or choose not to use initrd, or whatever). Herbert maintains this package, btw. To answer Herbert's mistaken interpretation of doogie's question: Yes, debian-installer has its own initrd too. It's pretty wacky. See preior discussion on debian-boot for details if you're interested. -- see shy jo
