I prefer this option, mostly because it reduces the size of the kernel (I assume anything that can be modular will be...) by a great deal. And it does seem to be the standard approach - there's something to be said for that. Still, why does this require dropping the C init? I'm not really objecting to doing that (at least for the x86 cd - if I ever do get around to building a sparc cd I may have to continue using the C-based init), I just want to understand fully why it is required to use a shell-based init. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
