Well, maybe I'm catching on a little. The contents of
/etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf are:
#
# Configuration file for update-initramfs(8)
#
#
# update_initramfs [ yes | all | no ]
#
# Default is yes
# If set to all update-initramfs will update all initramfs
# If set to no disables any update to initramfs beside kernel upgrade
update_initramfs=yes
#
# backup_initramfs [ yes | no ]
#
# Default is no
# If set to no leaves no .bak backup files.
backup_initramfs=no
For the question of whether I really want to run from the flash drive,
the answer is yes for a while.
For anything else just ask and I'll try.
thanx,,,
