HOWTO: Converting your minirt.gz from initRD to initRAMFS

[tr]

[quote="meatwad"]

If you need to unpack minirt.gz after creating the cpio image - :

Your method seems too complicated for me, so this is how I do this:

gunzip minirt.gz
cpio -i < minirt

Now minirt is in the same directory as unpacked minirt - so you can delete it. Then do changes and repack directory to minirt.g as is told in this HOWTO:

find . | cpio --quiet -o -H newc | gzip -9 > ../minirt.gz

Now you have your minirt.gz in parent directory but also those minirt files existing in the directory where you gzunzipped them for further use. Great!
