How about comparing initrd.q wary / humongous kernel quirky?

#1 Post by slackfan »

I would be interesting to read the comparison between both!

what are initrd.q's (f.ex. wary64-6.99.iso)
how to open them?
how to rebuild them?

as this thematic can be considered as parent / competitor from the thematic from "humongous kernel", where the 'vmlinuz' (kernel), for ex. for quirky-live-cd-6.2.1.91, has the initramfs built into it, what are the possibilities giving by both to remaster quirky?

yes one of those mysteries that I wanted to solve from the early days, the best answer was its a setting in the Wolf (now WOLF-CE) build system.
There does not seem to be a 'remaster' method since its actually built INTO the kernel which requires the world and more, DEV.fs kernel headers etc.
Guess you can email mr. Linux himself and see if he can make it easier at the kernel level.

or learn WOLF-CE that seems to divide the true distro-dev level coders from us (me included) remaster-ers level coders.
