Honestly, I guess I was just frustrated because it wasn't booting for me (it was because there was no driver and had nothing to do with the program). But it being C based made it more difficult to debug when I thought it was the program. Mostly what you want to be doing in an initramfs is better suited to a shell script, though, so I was happy to see the change even if it really had no bearing on me. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
