Indeed, and i just read the yaird design document, and i was really impressed,
even more when yaird did work out of the box for me. I wonder if
initramfs-tools provide an as-nice solution or not.
Steve, i believe we are going to face a problem which needs to be discussed,
and that is that neither yaird nor initramfs do currently allow for
2.4->2.6.12+ migration path.
Euh, why is this offlist, there was no flamewar i was aware off, just nice
discussion about this, i am CCing debian-kernel here.
