I found this while googling cd /to/the/directory/where/the/ramdisk/was/exploded find . | cpio -oc | gzip -9 > /boot/some-initrd.img

I have exploded the 2.6.9 initrd using mkdir initrd cd initrd gunzip -S img /boot/initrd.orig.img > initrd cpio -idvm < initrd Now that I've made a change inside of the exploded initrd directory how do I reverse back to initrd.orig.img? I'm sorry but I've "cpio --h" and "man cpio" but I can't figure out the options. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
