Well, after recently moving, my old firewall system decided that the floppy controller on the motherboard didn't want to actually read disks anymore. Or certainly not WRITE them.
So, I went ahead and used an older (but still newer than the old router) system, a P3-500 with a 64-meg DIMM, to throw together a new system. Right now, I'm trying to get things set up with an upgrade - since I had to move from DSL with Static IP to Cablemodem with DHCP - to Bering, and I'd like to do it on CD-ROM. And the easiest way for me to make the infamously-missing initrd.cdrom file myself would be to extract initrd on my workstation, make the changes, and close it back up. Unfortunately, things seem to choke when I try that. Winzip, itself, certainly doesn't think it's a tarball that's been gzipped, and neither does Winrar. Since the hard drive that had my Linux install on it just died (literally; happened about two hours ago) that's not really an option for me either.
So could anyone give me a pointer on whether or not what I'm trying to do is even possible? Or am I going to have to go at this the hard way - setting up a boot image on floppy and borrowing a computer?
Thanks!
