Hi Laurent, I agree on many of your topics about initramfs, but to pick one question at this point ...

No debate, at this, everybody has to decide for himself which solution fits "better" (in his eyes). > - and I think that you'll find it simpler to maintain >if you try it out - And here the question: How is it simpler to maintain? squashfs is a read only file system, so you can't change things directly. Same as in initramfs: You need a copy of the root file system tree to put in your changes, then you need to create your new root file system (squashfs on one hand, cpio archiv on the other hand). Then you need to install your new root file system to the flash. How can you feel this being simpler to maintain? -- Harald _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
