RE: dist upgrade potato to woody 2.2 to 2.4 kernel
so, is it possible that the standard build requires a ramdisk, but if you
'roll your own' it is not necessary?
If the above is true, and I wish to install the standard build kernel, how
do I go about putting together this ramdisk and configuring it correctly? is
it as simple as an additional line in lilo? What creates the
'initrd-2.4.4-686' file?

I understood that all 2.4 kernels do, but I suppose it depends on
whether
or not the builder of the kernel used one?
