That's a hack, but a > small one compared to what an initramfs is :) Wonko I already have portage on a separate partition and I clean out my kernel sources once I get a really good stable kernel. I actually cleaned out /boot and /usr/src last night. The kernel I am running now has let me have weeks of uptimes so I guess it is stable, at least everything works and no random crashes or anything. Well, kpat locks up on me sometimes but that is nothing new. As soon as I see a way to win, it locks up tight. Pisses me off when it does that. lol I got a spare drive in here. I may just do a install there and use it to play with init crap and maybe LVM. Sort of see what I want to do. Still thinking about just picking something else tho. I'm just not seeing the need to continue if options are going to be removed. Eventually Gentoo will be like Mandrake where you just install and say a prayer it works. The things that are going away are the reasons I chose Gentoo to begin with. < sighs > Dale :-) :-)
