You are assuming that everyone uses and needs initrd. That is not true.

look at grub, for instance
My bad in assuming that :) You are right, it would be a *really* bad idea if lilo was executed automatically. But I am still unable to buy the initrd idea from ckm. He keeps talking about people needing initrd, while I was only talking about people who don't. Those are the people who don't use reiserfs for root fs, scsi disks or RAID and hence don't need to build initrd. I was one of those till lately, before I moved to ext3 on LVM :) Cheers, -- Nadeem Hasan nhasan@nadmm.com http://www.nadmm.com/
