*shuffles his feet* I've started using genkernel. Once I discovered I can specify my own kernel configuration, it got a lot less ugly to me. The initramfs thing hasn't gotten in my way...yet. And it helped me recover an install process once so far, so I can't complain _to_ much. My only complaint thus far is its terrible error reporting. And since I'm using an initramfs, I went ahead and dropped my / on top of a raid5 volume. But even before I started using genkernel...grub2 sounded like a good thing. One of the previous threads in here described how you assemble its configuration, and it made a *lot* of sense, from an architectural standpoint. -- :wq
