Well, there are three cases : the current one where the *DEFAULT* is hardcoded in k-p, the one i propose, where you can hardcode that in linux-2.6, and chose to do it per arch/subarch/flavour even, and your proposal, which is more far-ranging. My proposal should be a couple of lines of patch, nothing more, and would work out of the box with k-p 10.00x, while yours, altough nicer, needs more work and cooperation. The idea is to use it to remove initramfs-tools from the default list on alpha, while not needing to conflict against initramfs-tools as it is done now, you see, ways less ambitious than your proposal :) Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
