One time I got this instructions from Stuart on how to extract initrd: cd /tmp mkdir foo cd foo dd if=armedslack-current/isolinux/uinitrd-kirkwood.img bs=64 skip=1 | gzip -dc | cpio -div So initrd is gzipped cpio archive, but you have to skip some data;) By the way, I used the extracted initrd to install Armedslack on my SD/MMC based system and there was no problem (I extracted initrd to the MMC card and booted it as my system has to little RAM to use initrd directly). -- Pozdrawiam, Best regards, Andrzej Telszewski _______________________________________________ ARMedslack mailing list [email protected] http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack
