[advise needed on kernel compiling]

[Chuck Hallenbeck]

Thanks for this pointer. I have been "rolling my own" the hard way for a 
long time, and have not explored the Debian kernel packaging stuff for 
building. And I read the docs on initrd's once or twice some time ago, 
and decided to try to avoid them. But now I guess it's time to bite the 
bullet.

Thanks,
Chuck

Sorry I can not give a better answer, but initramfs-tools is almost a must for making initrds unless you are using yaird. regards
