klibc - Jan 2005 - content of initramfs CPIO archive

Hi,

I am compiling a tiny linux kernel 2.6.10 to be used together with linuxbios.
The boot phase will go as follows:
linuxbios->tiny linux kernel->initramfs

The initramfs shall use dhcp to get it's address and then tftp a full
featured
kernel. This kernel must be started through kexec.
I use a tweaked networkdriver in the kernel and cannot use a normal PXE boot.

Which files should I include in the initramfs CPIO archive?

klibc.so
ifconfig
mount
kinit
...

How does the shared versions of ifconfig find klibc.so?

Has anyone portet a tftp client to klibc? -or shall I port the one from 
busybox?

Regards,

Its the interpreter of your app, sort of like '!#/bin/sh'

If I understand your question, copy the klib/klibc*.so shared library to /lib 
in order to obtain the shared version of the program work properly.
