It really isn't easier if you used make-kpkg to make the kernel - make-kpkg builds the initrd image for you (though I vaguely recall there was an initrd.conf setup somewhere, long ago - see mkinitrd). Of course, if you don't use make-kpkg, then you're not interested in doing things the easy way :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
