Subject: [parisc-linux] MAKE initrds FAST
Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2000 22:51:02 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20000212225102.D9944@thepuffingroup.com> (raw)
An interesting project someone might want to take on:
I waste a fair bit of time copying executables from hpux to linux,
mounting a ramdisk over loopback, putting the executable into the
disk, unmounting it, copying the ramdisk back to hpux, making a new
kernel and then booting it.
If someone has some spare time, they might want to investigate using
libext2fs to build a ramdisk under HPUX. Red Hat's mkinitrd doesn't
work like this, so can't be usefully adapted. libext2fs is available
as part of e2fsprogs, available from most ftp sites world-wide :-)
