Hi All,

I have another absurd idea and I would like to share it with community.

Problem to solve:
  My application needs to create a complex running environment after the boot. 
At boot time I have just a file with the file system that need to be analyzed 
to 
be mounted (I cannot mount it directly).

Solution
 The idea is to have a micro initramfs with a (small) busybox and some scripts 
in order to perform the needed operation and create the final root file system.

I have two choice: create a Image Makefile under my target that creates a 
minimal static busybox

or

give into the busybox' Config menu n option that permit to compile the  busybox 
(in static way) avoiding to install into the main squashfs. The image Makefile 
will create an opportune initramfs file list that includes the created busybox 
and a init script that will link during the boot sequence the busybox into the 
final filesystem.

I think that a "Package/*/InstallInitramfs" defne should be invoked to permit 
to the packages the installation of initramfs  files.

These are my confused 2EuroCents.

ciao

luigi
