Aanhalen Simon Blake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

It looks nice, but as mentioned in the previous mail it just needs 
the changed filename. A replace all initrd-new.img to initrd.lrp will fix 
everything.

I will quote a mail from Eric Wolzak member of the Bering crew which 
apparently never made it to the list.

<QUOTE>
The backup of the "normal lrp" files is done by the script
/usr/sbin/lrcfg.back.script
This shell script creates a tar .gz file called .lrp from the packages 
that are selected by
the /var/lib/lrpkg/$PACKAGE.list  and deselected by the other *.list .
In the script there is an escape statement like
if the name of the package that has to be created is initrd.lrp then use 
another backup
script.
/usr/sbin/lrcfg.back.initrd
You are correct that initrd is a completely other kind of package. in fact 
it is a "dump" of
a minix filesytem"  written to disk with dd.

Now the problem you have with backing up is caused by the fact that the
name of your
package is no longer initrd.lrp  so the alternative script is not used.
This problem should however be solved if you change one of the first lines in
lrcfg.back.script :

INITRD="`sed 's/.*initrd=//;s/.lrp.*//' /proc/cmdline`"
to
INITRD="initrd-new.img"

</END QUOTE>
Instead of this little fix we might as well use initrd.lrp as our filename to
begin with which will eleminate this problem.

Thanks for putting my name in it as proof reader.
