No, it won't - there's a gzip process that has to be gone through in between - you have to gzip initrd-new.img, and rename initrd-new.img.gz to initrd.lrp. There also some other little bugs in that document that I've found - I'll update it for rc3 shortly. > Another modification I would like to see is the output of an ls -l from the > root/lib directory just before recompressing the root.lrp. > To be able to verify if we have the correct files.

That's presuambly what the file size displays are for - if your new root.lrp isn't the size you'd expect, then you can bail out and investigate.
