mkinitrd

[Steven Pasternak]

Hi! I have an LFS 6.0 system, and I was wondering, where could I get a 
good mkinitrd script and tutorial. I haven't found an official project, 
and each distro has their own. I tried copying the debian initrd-tools 
over. I liked how it used cramfs, but the mkinitrd script makes many 
calls to 'dpkg', which I don't have. I haven't had luck figuring out how 
fedora/redhat's mkinitrd works or what it needs (/etc/conf.modules, 
/etc/mkinitrd/modules, /etc/modules.conf, etc.). I eventually want to 
add a bootsplash (needs an initrd), and make it a custom live rescue cd 
(and just want to know how it all works ;-) ) Thanks!
