I figured that! :-)
And a wise move on its part, too..

err, but _how_, though? %-(

Obviously even by taking the not-real-man's way out of going through
apt-get rather than compiling my own kernel, it's still assuming a level

Can you tell me how and where do I conjure up this initrd.img from?


Thanks,
