True, but the thing is: the initial ext2fs.static has to be able to access it right from the start even before exec is started, and the ramdisk is given by multiboot to the _kernel_ only a priori. Downloading it into userland just to be more hurdish seems really like overkill to me. Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
