When I look in /boot i find
[code]
-rw------- 1 root root 17202433 Nov 14 20:34 initramfs-3.6.6-1.fc16.i686.img

[\code]

Do i undrstand them correctly

I believe the dates of 11/5 are dates that the modules were created at some support location

I believe that the date of 11/14 is when dracut was run on my machine to pull together the material used in the ram based startup system.

Do I have that right?

and apparenty I dont recall the [code] and end code statements

That is probably correct about the dates. It is possible to create a file and set the datestamp associated with the file. tar does that when unrolling a tarball.
See my sig for info on using [CODE][/CODE] and other BB tags.
