tnx

I have read the simonf instructions....
I have two point that are not clear to me (that is most of it)

1) mkinitrd --preload=ehci-hcd --preload=usb-storage --preload=scsi_mod 
--preload=sd_mod /boot/usbinitrd.img 2.6.9-1.667smp

Why shall I use 2.6.9-1.667smp??? or what else??

2) If I have to use the modified mkinitrd for usb, what shall I do it???

Sorry but newbie to this kind of problems!!!!
