Hello there,
Well, thanks for that Sunil.
Anyway, My idea of Ramdisk is the same as yours. So, I am right there.
My idea of initrd was that it was a compressed filesystem which was
necessary for booting. ( I dunno whether that was right ?? I think it is
wrong)
And coming to your question , I am both as of now.
Regards

You can try to copy your files to the Ramdisk by doing the following
mkdir /tmp/ramdisk0
mkfs -t ext2 /dev/ram0
mount /dev/ram0 /tmp/ramdisk0
Your ramdisk is available at /tmp/ramdisk0
Initrd is simply a ramdisk that is initialized by the boot loader before
the kernel is started. Initial root file system is loaded from initrd.
Hope it helps. By the way are you a programmer or a sysadmin?
