I made up a dumb rescue floppy as an example of using a static busybox based initrd to extract udebs to a tmpfs. I say dumb becasue because the udebs to be unpackaged are in a config script in the initrd rcS file, i am working on some busybox applets that would make it smarter (genfstab and dpkg-scanpackages) that were heading toward a anna floppy/hd retriever, i got a bit bogged down with it so i took a step back and made this in the interim. What i would like to do is have an anna floppy/hd retriever built into the initrd image and create a di-core-task.udeb package to tell anna what core udebs are required to be installed initially. the initrd.gz is on a romfs and is only 43kB, it only unpackags 2 packages, rootskel and a static uClibc based busybox-udeb that are sitting on the / on the vfat formated image. There is still about 650 kB free space (so i gziped it), i realised after i made it that i have my own custom kernel, so if it doesnt work youl have to change it or wait for me to do it tommorow, its nearly 4am here :) Its a bit rough, but anyway, if you try it let me know what you think. http://people.debian.org/~bug1/debian-installer/ Thanks Glenn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
