Yes it's me :-) > a bit unclear on one point though.. if you use TSL 2.2 because that is > the current stable etc. why would you touch the kernel? :p Yeah... you've got a point but I need kernel 2.6 to support the kind of h/w I have on some servers. As for TSL 2.2 vs. TSL 3.0, it's just my (admittedly questionable) idea is that using a stable 2.6 kernel over a rock-solid TSL 2.2 gives me a better combination than 3.0, plus the other reasons I've mentioned. > >>> Mkinitrd 4.1.18-2 RPM from FC3 installed in place > >> why in heavens name would you take an rpm from FC3? use the TSL3 rpm > >> instead.. > > > > Well, I'd love to, but what's the name of the RPM that has mkinitrd in TSL > > 3.0 > > please?

Will give this one a try, thanks. I have to admit that I haven't been too smart on this. I've just tried searching for "mkinitrd" :-} > swup is a nice tool ..
