Actually, I thought that was the point. Thing is, I'm not sure either. It seems when I built mine it read fstab. Maybe it looks there to see if /usr is on a separate partition and if it is then it knows to mount /usr. I dunno. I'll google some more tho. I followed a couple howtos to get mine to work. I'm not sure but I know one was on a Redhat or Fedora website. I think the others came from a dracut site. I just wanted to clear up some mud before I dived off into something. I'll check you link too. Thanks. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words! Miss the compile output?
