14 is there any GOOD reason for using an initrd?
15
16 Really? I can't imagine any.
17
18 Second, what is this ufs stuff? This is linux. Kick out ufs, make the
19 partitions linux, with ext3 or reiserfs or xfs or jfs. Make a udf, iso9660
20 and fat module, and don't build the other fs (except sysfs,proc etc).
21
22 Build everything needed to boot INTO the kernel. Again, what are the
23 advantages of a initrd? Except that it is another instance in boot that costs
24 time and may be introduce a cause of failure?
