Hi, Here's a try at writing an initramfs HOWTO. This is basically a write-up of a number of interesting emails I collected over time. It could probably use an editor, more fact-checking and a bunch of other good things, but it should be better than nothing ;-) Daniel -------------- next part -------------- INITRAMFS HOWTO 0) What are klibc and initramfs?

Some packages want to pass input to gcc via STDIN (iptables for example) This patch lets klcc accept '-' as a valid input filename, prevents it from setting -x in that case and changes the invocation of gcc from system() to open3() so that gcc's STDIN can be connected to klcc's STDIN.

Hello, I feel that the klibc package should include an insmod that can be used on an initramfs. While it is possible to use an insmod built statically against glibc, such a binary is (comparatively) huge at 565K. The attached insmod.c is essentially the insmod.c from module-init-tools minus a couple of lines related to calling the old (2.4) version of insmod for backward compat. BTW: Insmod
