Well it is a bit unreasonable even rely on foreign /etc. The root problem is that what you want to use for early boot should not have huge deps and that assumption fails for a number of reasons, I guess mostly due the fact who writes some software doesn't expect it to be run on early boot =\ lu -- Luca Barbato Gentoo/linux http://dev.gentoo.org/~lu_zero
