The scripts that update Packages run every day at about noon, PDT. I typically install packages in the evenings, so you're right that the files are not always up-to-date. I'll think about running the scripts by hand after I install. > Here is the installation error. I guess this should > be directed to the maintainer of the sudo package? You should file a bug against sudo.

But swap should be turned on before doing any memory-hungry things, like fsck for example. kerneld is already started pretty early. You can rename the S files in /etc/rc2.d (changing their numbers) if you want to change the order. My advice is not to compile raid0 as a module. It'll never be removed, you realize, so there's really no benefit to compiling it as a module. Guy
