WTF? Really? You open /etc/kernel-img.conf in any text editor. You will probably need root permissions to view/edit/save the file. You create a new line with the contents "do_initrd = Yes" after the header. You save the file. How exactly would you phrase that in this message? I think the current version is rather clear. > The instructions more or less say, "You need to do this.

How should we make that clearer? I made the Etch to Lenny migration twice over the past year. I barely skimmed the release notes, and it was easy bordering on trivial. I did abort the kernel upgrade at least once, in order to editing /etc/kernel-img.conf. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
