I believe this would be the best solution. I have no problem custom tailoring my initrd, but for the average user it might be handy to have a tool to configure initrd like modules.lrp. Who would be the one to decide on this? Another question.... How does one to go about building the buildenv for a specific release, e.g. does CVS have release tags? For example, if I wanted to have a buildenv which matches _exactly_ the one for 2.4.1 how to proceed? thanks Erich ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
