Mondo Archive Warning

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right section for this post, but I consider backups a security topic. Please move it if necessary.

Anyway, on to my question. Being a noob to Linux, especially SuSE I have a query about a warning message that appears when I run Mondo to create my backups. Below is the terminal output. It's not a show stopper, but I was wondering, should my 10.3 kernel have ramdisk support, and maybe more importantly, does the SuSE kernel even use ramdisks. I'm running 10.3. Is the kernel 'failsafe' whatever that might mean? If ramdisks are supported should I be running one, and how would I go about compiling that into the kernel?

The sentence that includes 'mind-numbingly stupid' got my attention...


Checking sanity of your Linux distribution
---promptdialogYN---1--- Your kernel has no ramdisk support. That's mind-numbingly stupid but I'll allow it if you're planning to use a failsafe kernel. Are you?


Thanks in advance. One thing is for sure, I'm learning much in a short space of time.
