Hmm, sorry, I have to disagree. ;) E.g. 12MB out of the 16MB in the initramfs I've used are modules. I've also created some larger initramfs wich included X11 and such, and I find it very convenient to use the initramfs to include a rootfs in the the kernel and so only have to handle one file for all. E.g. just load the kernel with the included rootfs via tftp and you are done. Sure this can all be done using an external initrd, but that is much less comfortable to use. At least I like that feature since it is available and won't miss it now. ;) Regards, Alexander -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
