This is another side point. I'm not talking about installation. I'm talking about why initrd is needed AFTER the OS is installed w/all it's drivers -- i.e. during normal usage. Windows doesn't need extra disks / drivers to be pre-loaded unless you are booting from a rescue disk/installation disk. Once you have it installed, Windows doesn't need such things. Why does linux need an initrd? It seems the SuSE folks are saying this is a requirement of the linux kernel -- yet windows doesn't have any similar analogous need. So why does linux need this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
