Nope. ext2fs.static and /lib/ld.so.1 are both loaded by Grub. The reason that ext2fs is a static binary is that we would have a chicken and egg problem if we tried to setup the root file system using a dynamically linked ext2fs: the dynamic loader (in this case, loaded by Grub) would need to find the shared libraries to setup the root file system, however, it would not be able to access the root file system to find the libraries as the root file system is not yet running. _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
