Have look at it. It uses shells scripts only. So, it's easy to understand. If you want, I can mail you the initrd made by those scripts! If you're using Debian, have a look at bootcd-mkinitrd package ! I suppose any live CDs based distributions (like knopix) do such things too.... By the way, this is not the correct ML for these questions. Please use a list based on your GNU/Linux distribution ! -- Glennie "Personne ne survit au fait d'être estimé au-dessus de sa valeur."
