Like Martin I'm also a bit puzzled here. Are you saying that it should be possible to remove the modules needed for mounting the boot device from the initramfs and put them elsewhere? > To make sense, these > features would have to be coded in something very small (ie: no big C > library required) so the extra space could be justified (I'd give up > 10-50K to have a powerful > scripting language like forth or LUA avaialble at runtime!). > Me too in that case, because the extra space this costs can be gained back by removing the tools needed to backup such an initramfs.
