successfull kernel build:where to go?

[Kerry Hoath]

I saw an article on this in Debian weekly news about a year ago discussing 
initrd creaters.
Yard is deprecated as in it is not used in Debian anymore by default.
initramfs which is a new feature of 2.6.15+ I seem to recall (it could have 
come in earlier) is the default these days.
apt-cache search initramfs I think the package is initramfs-tools but I run 
ubuntu these days and aren't logged into a box to check.
Regards, Kerry.
