Ärende: init= was:ttylinux
==========================
On or about: 11-17-06  19:05, Maurice Kinal did engage James Bradley regarding,
but not limited to: init= was:ttylinux

Cool! I just remembered I have the LDP on DVD. <BWEG> I'll dig into lilo
interruption, and passing command line parameters. I must say, I prefer Grub
for ease of installation, and modification. Maybe, I just have more experience
there.

The kernel booted for setup, and the one I installed are the same. test26.s,
which panics the same as any other I've tried. (Not exhaustive, but I've thrown
a few, at a couple of machines so far.)

 JB> communication. Silly me, eh? <L>

 MK> AH!  Yeah we never got beyond speculation about that.  I 
 MK> imagine it could be done but I am not going to actually try.

I couldn't fathom climbing a tower with my bad hip. I can't walk a mile, so I
doubt I could climb an eighth of one.

 MK>> I am  still putting the 'final' touches on the 64-bit development

 MK>> whatever you want to call it) which could be later mounted 
 
 JB> I still call them drives, whether or not they have moving parts. I

 MK> Drives works for me.  The same tools so why not?

They may have seek times, and throughput magnitudes above a spinning platter,
but they both read and write the same. Hell, if it walks like a duck... So what
if it does the Watusie. (-;
 
 JB> Say, I did revisit minimal, but access was blocked?

 MK> Things were down due to the storm.  I checked last night and it was up
 MK> and  running again (web site).  Things have been out of control 

...So I've heard! I was pretty sure I visited before the weather, but it has
been hitting you for some time too, hasn't it?

OK: Flash RAM, readers, fishing pole... I hear mini marshmellows make great
bait.

You're set for rubber boots, I take it? <L>
