Again, I don't really care about the pain - in a sick sense I sort of like it (more if it wore high heels...) - but I'm gonna learn this initramfs stuff and make it work because I suspect it's at least a good thing to know. It ain't only you Dale. I have (!)fun(!) with this stuff too... ;-) Cheers, Mark
