The initrd image is slightly smaller as well. I don't think I'll be able to get everything to fit. Either the kernel or initrd would have to shrink by 50% to fit. So you're saying that I should build a separate "root" floppy image that contains the initrd, as has been done in the past? noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
