no in the context of a Linux kernel version is meant as `uname -r` > Also, the same man page refers to a file, mkinitramfs.conf, in error. > It should be initramfs.conf, or better yet, /etc/mkinitramfs/initramfs.conf. ok thanks fixed. the FILES section has the full path, so that should be fine. we will soon move from /etc/mkinitramfs to /etc/initramfs-tools. please keep in mind that update-initramfs is the enduser script. mkinitramfs has ugly interfaces that are kept for backward compat with mkinitrd. update-initramfs(8) documents version, but has still the ambiguity you reported, fixing that atm. -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
