It's required for the kernel-image-2.4.x packages because they're being built with initrds. Actually, it's because the module for the filesystems are in the initrds and not built in to the kernel, e.g. ext2 is no longer staticly compiled into the kernel, it's in the initrd. ciao, der.hans -- # [EMAIL PROTECTED] home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.DevelopOnline.com # I chose to use the kernel sources as my documentation. ;-) # -- Kevin Buettner
