Are you creating your own Linux distribution? If not, whatever distribution you're installing will already have everything you need. > I know I need the kernel > image, initrd and parmfile, but are these three files enough to get > Linux shell and ssh to log into the installation? Again, if you're installing an existing distribution, those three things will be all that you need, along with the actual packages to be installed. The initrd has all the binaries for the shell, SSH, etc. > Next thing I don't > know are the "magic" addresses in the .ins file - how should I choose > them? Any help or link or other resources will be appreciated. One more time, if you're installing an existing distribution, just use the .ins file they have created. If you're building your own distribution, just use the .ins file from some other distribution. Those addresses are not (particularly) distribution specific.
