Re: mkinitrd linking issue.

Greetings Harri. Before I started playing with the export command, I had this problem. Here is the output: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ bash -x /usr/sbin/mkinitrd ... + set -e ++ pwd + ORIGDIR=/ + PROG=/usr/sbin/mkinitrd + CONFDIR=/etc/mkinitrd + unset keep croot cmkimage out + getopts d:km:o:r: flag + shift 0 + '[' ']' + usage + revision='$Id: mkinitrd,v 1.201 2004/05/16 22:00:48 herbert Exp $' + cat $Id: mkinitrd,v 1.201 2004/05/16 22:00:48 herbert Exp $ Usage: /usr/sbin/mkinitrd [OPTION]... <-o outfile> [version] Options: -d confdir Specify an alternative configuration directory. -k Keep temporary directory used to make the image. -m command Set the command to make an initrd image. -o outfile Write to outfile. -r root Override ROOT setting in mkinitrd.conf.

Can you interpret this? Thank you. Chris W.
