I don't use initrd and not sure why most people need one...
Good point, and I'd like to know why, too. AFAIK the major use of initrd is on installation CD's, where the maker of the install disk has no way of knowing in advance what hardware/filesystems the "installee" is using, and thus must be ready for any surprise. If this point of view is misguided or incomplete, please hit me with the cluestick, asap :) (BTW, hal is never off-topic for Dale. Don't ask why, it's ancient history now, just like hal. I don't think Dale is ancient history, though, quite yet, well, almost ;)
