FYI, what Linus called module-init-tools has been packaged as a newer version of the Red Hat "modutils" package. It's availble from Arjan van de Ven's website (which you use below) in the http://people.redhat.com/~arjanv/2.6/RPMS.kernel/ dir (updates regularly; check for the latest version.) A good way to deal with this upgrade is to add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list rpm http://people.redhat.com arjanv/2.5 kernel rpm-src http://people.redhat.com arjanv/2.5 kernel And then apt-get dist-upgrade to get newer initscripts/LVM utils/etc. Arjan's prepackaged kernels are nice, but they enforce some Red Hat policy (no "patent concern" modules built eg. NTFS, no SMBFS - deprecated in favour of CIFS, which isn't nearly as stable), so you may well want to get his source and build your own. Some people advocate going a step further and installing kernel.org source with the Red Hat .config file, and report this fixes issues with the ATI Radeon driver. Might not be too necessary however on a server!

What's this 'replace' command'? Seems kind of useful, but isn't builtin, doesn't apt-get (on Debian) and googling for 'replace awk' doesn't help much :) Craig
