Sounds cool, but most people here don't want to touch mkinitrd. It's a fragile script that tends to break easily. My suggestion would be to either talk to the people who aren't afraid to break initrd-tools (Jeff Bailey comes to mind), or start looking at integrating this into the initramfs toolset, which we'll most likely switch to (replacing initrd-tools) at some point in the future. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
