Initramfs & initrd Confusion Do I have to use them
location: linuxquestions.com - date: February 27, 2008
Hello,
I always get confused in any literature on Linux which mentions about initrd or initramfs.
I know the default debian installation uses an initrd image during the boot (in the GRUB).
Some time back, I freed my boot process from using initrd image by compiling all the IDE and filesystem modules that are required into the kernel so that I don't have to use the "initrd" line in my GRUB config file(menu.lst).
Recently I installed a package called splashy and I encountered error and I was suggested to use the splashy program from initramfs.
I researched and found that initramfs will eventually replace initrd image.
How do I know if I am using initramfs right now during my boot process?
Does using initramfs image means appending an "initramfs" line in the GRUB just like we use to do for initrd?
How do we create an initramfs?
Can anyone give some concise explanation?
Will really appreciate it.

Basically I dont see any advantages to using linux over windows xp, Im dual booting windows and ubuntu. Ubuntu is nice and all but I dont see anything that would make me prefer it over windows.The only thing i have been using ubuntu for is web browsing playing music/movies (cant play games) which I can do better/hassle free in windows.
So what are the advantages of l using linux over xp?

Help with User,Pwd to use browser. I do have root access with Dolphin su
location: linuxquestions.com - date: June 8, 2010
HI,
I have Mepis 8.5 and I can access root Dolphin etc. but I cannot get past the ID and pwd panel when I try to use Firefox to see my localhost sites.
When I installed, I knew I should not have made using the browser to be password needed, but it was too late so I am stuck with it.
As I haven't used it for a while I have fotgotten the user and pwd for this area.
How can I find it or negate it so I have access once I put the localhost url in the broswer?
There is no one else touching it but me, and I thought I write it down but can't find it.
Thanks
oz
