Are you deliberately trying to be annoying? Let me guess: - your under 25 years of age, probably in high school or not far out of it - you have a stupid oversized wanky computer case with neon lighting and useless analog dials and what not. you might have even overclocked it - you've run windows most of your live - you probably run gentoo now. you like the feeling of having everything optimized for your exact system; the addition 0.25% speed increase more than offsets the fact everything is crappy and crashes all the time - you run reiserfs, you probably can't wait till reiser4 is merged so you can run that - you're very interesting in real-time patches. linux should clearly have all real-time stuff merged. second to your interest in realtime is probably something like selinux - if you drive a car, it has extra spoilers added and you've replaced the steering wheel with something from MOMO - you 'friends' are worried you'll die a virgin Please. How about you do a little research on some things for a bit? The initramfs code is done the way it is for a good reason. cpio is used over tar for another good reason. You are most welcome to disagree and even voice you disagreement, but there comes a point where you really need to produce some better arguments. Patches wouldn't hurt either. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
