You would have to recompile everything you might want to use. There are some ARM precompiled ramdisks in the net, e.g. from the LART project http://www.lart.tudelft.nl, or from the "wearable group" http://www.wearablegroup.org . > What directory structured I should populate the ramdisk with ? The usual LINUX stuff as demonstrated by the base package of your favourite distribution. But you don't have to re-invent the wheel again and again every time you want to build a car. > What programs need to be installed (e.g. shell, ls, mount, etc) ?
