This is great to know :-) > (As has been pointed out by someone else); initrd.gz is a small gzipped > file system that can be accessed by 'gunzip initrd.gz' The reason I wanted to do all this is to add the newest jme.ko module to the initrd.gz. But after gunzip I only get the file initrd and I don't know how to add the module to it :-( Best regards Ramon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
