No need for any filesystem code in kernel, be it ext2, minix or other. initrd => initramfs conversion (what you said I "force" on users) is to switch from loop+whatever-fs-du-jur to plain dirrectory and cpio, and to add the final mount+run_init into the initrd script. And after that's done, everything becomes good... ;) > But so far, the arguments are not convincing that kinit has to be in the > kernel tree. Here, I agree. /mjt
