But do a install from livecd id it very hard to do.              genkernel has a big history of not working and I haven't used it more than       once or twice before I decided to make all manually instead.       I don't use initramfs, instead I compile all the driver into the kernel       which I need during boot up (usually not much more than drivers for disk,       nic only if I need to use tftp/nfs for root file system).              For boot loader there are options other than grub/grub2, which has been       working fine for a lot of people, for example lilo.              --        //Aho              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
