You haven't changed a bit from the old days, have you Robert. I killfiled you once in rpm-list years ago for much the same stridor. If grub.conf's use of /vmlinuz-2.6.22.9-91.fc7 and /initrd-2.6.22.9-91.fc7.img isn't placing two files in the 'root directory' then what is it doing? If you do a chroot() system call to /boot in a running F7, what files are in the root directory? If you dump the context of nash (or the kernel prior to loading init) in a booting F7 system, where is the 'root directory'? -- Lamar Owen Chief Information Officer Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu
