From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "Robert P. J. Day" Subject: can initrd and initramfs be made independent? Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2009 13:10:45 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Return-path: Sender: linux-embedded-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Embedded Linux mailing list as it stands, when configuring the kernel, you can't select initramfs capability without also selecting initrd. but isn't it feasible that you might want initramfs and have no need for initrd? if you make those selections independent, the help info suggests you can save 15Kb by not having RAM disk (initrd) support. or is there an interdependence here that's not so obvious? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
