Create a plain text config file detailing the contents of the initramfs and set CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE to the path top this file. That and an init script are all you need to have the initramfs automatically built with the current versions of all files when you compile your kernel. No messing around with copying files from the main filesystem or calling arcane incantations involving cpio, "make all" takes care of it all. --=20 Neil Bothwick COBOL: (n.) an old computer language, designed to be read and not run.
