There are two possibilities: 1. You put libc and ld-linux and whatever libraries zcat, mount, cp and umount need in your initial ramdisk 2. or you build zcat, mount, cp and umount statically, so you don't need any library.
I think the second option will require less disk space, but you will have to recompile. -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Enviado el: jueves, 14 de marzo de 2002 5:48 Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: Help required from whom has experiences with Paul Moody's mini-howto. Hi, I am following embedded linux OS by Paul Moody's mini-howto, http://linux-embedded.com/pmhowto.html. It is very nice howto file to me for building embedded linux os. However, I have a problem with it on building ramdisk file loading. I can reduces storage space a lot with his techniques. In step 12 on hist mini-howto, cp /bin/zcat ./ In linuxrc file, #!/bin/sh mount -o ro /dev/hda1 /mnt zcat ram40.img.gz>/dev/ram umount /dev/hda1 Q1. Does the zcat work without dynamically linked libraries, several /lib/libxxxx.so? "ldd /bin/zcat" will show the run-time required libraries. As I know, I need to statically liniked zcat, am I wrong?
