Hello from Gregg C Levine normally with Jedi Knight Computers
We don't know each other, nor have we directly communicated. But I was
the one who asked those original questions talking about the "cramfs"
file system, or systems. Now my next question: Whose "makcramfs"
script did you use? Or did you write one yourself? So far the only one
that I have found, is one developed by the Handhelds.org outfit. And
for one of my projects that may, or may not be appropriate. I did find
the current, or nearly current, versions of the LEM (Linux Embedded)
Filesystem, though, from the ftp site, run by TUX. Can you also supply
me with the command string that you used for mounting via loopback? I
know, pleny of questions to answer, maybe this will take time. Please
do so. My version of Linux, is Slackware 7.1(7.2) with the 2.2.18
kernel, especially since that is the version of the kernel, that is
listed as being current for them.
