Note that yaird is not likely to be included in Lenny anyway. Last I know is that there is hardly any upstream development and for that reason it has been removed from testing some time ago. initramfs-tools is very much the preferred utility for initrd generation. > The installer installs initramfs-tools on the nslu2, so I'm not sure > why it's not installed on your machine. Well, unless prevented from doing so by dependencies, users are able to switch after the installation :-) Also, when installing in expert mode, the installer does offer the choice. Only if both are available of course, so not anymore when installing Lenny. > However, it probably makes sense to add a depends to flash-kernel. > I'll do that, thanks. As flash-kernel seems to rely on an initramfs hook script this does indeed seem like a bug. Cheers, FJP
