At this point, the problem is that there's just not enough room on the initrd for anything more. I've mentioned this to Judd, because I wanted a few things on there and he said there was no more room, so he'd build it into the kernel. I guess ide-cs will have to be built into the kernel as well, unless you want to work on fixing up the install cd ;) Jason -- If you understand, things are just as they are.
