Hi eric, I used those commands from your link .. namely these :
initrd.lrp is a different package - it's a compressed, minix formatted filesystem. To add or change it's content you have to uncompress it and mount it on a minix formatted mount point: dd if=/dev/zero of=initrd bs=1k count=1500 mkfs.minix initrd 4096 mount -t minix initrd /mnt -o loop Copy the contents for the initrd package to the /mnt directory: sync umount /mnt gzip -9 initrd mv initrd.gz initrd.lrp ___________________________________________________________________ But like I mentioned .. My initrd.lrp file was way too small afterwarts if dd if=/dev/zero needs to be used .. From where do I get all the other files from the original initrd.lrp package? I would think once uncompressed and mounted , they should be available at the folder .. but it's empty everytime Tom Citeren Eric Spakman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi Tom, > > My previous mail had a link with the exact commands to execute: > http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/bucd-develop.xml.html#id3256747 > > Eric > >> indeed .. for the making of the image I had to use "dd if=initrd.lrp" >> instead of "dd if=/dev/zero" I guess ..
