I think in DENX new ELDK they may use what you just found ... but in older versions of SELF you must become root user like you say ...

All, I've got to create a RAM disk for our new system. I've found this little utility called genext2fs the web site is http://sourceforge.net/projects/genext2fs/ <http://sourceforge.net/projects/genext2fs/> but my question. What do other people use to do this? Why should I have to become the root user just to create a RAM disk I can do everything else without becoming root on my development machine. I would like to be able to make this next step as well. Regards, Rod Boyce. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
