Hi
question question to both of you guys, any reason not to use a initrd ?
doesn't it limit your options a lot, I can understand a monolithic
kernel - but a partial one ?

Alex,
How does having an initrd prove more or less beneficial than not having
one?
IMO I like simplicity and a straight forward boot configuration:
1. /boot/kernel
2. /boot/System.map
3. lilo
4. modules (if necessary)
No other components.
Justin.
