Okay, I never knew the reason why, just that su - let me do things that
su didn't. Is there an option to reset the PATH without changing the
current working dir? It is annoying when I am compiling code and get
kicked out of my source folder by the su - command...
Also, I have gotten the kernel and initrd setup and my 2.6.9 custom
kernel boots up now with only one error message. I recompiled a few
times and changed some things from built-in to modules and vice-versa,
and most of the errors went away.
The error was about the package nfs4 idmapd or something, but the custom
kernel boots A LOT faster than the standard binaries. Where can I view
the logfile for the bootup to see more info?
