How to add lupu_xxx.sfs into initrd.gz?
Hi,
I try to do a pxe boot, and I want to put lupu_528.sfs into the initrd.gz file. So, it will boot from the tftp server.
I try gz and zcat to extract the initrd.gz, but somehow I got this output

hi
it depends on the compressor
http://blog.mybox.ro/2010/05/12/how-...-initrd-image/
and if sfs is a squashfile unpack with (and choose a folder to unpack it into pls)
Code:
unsquashfs lupu_528.sfs
merge them then repack the initrd
2) if you have a puppy structure it may be possible to use "layers" of squashfiles in which you don't need to install whatever your luu is into the initrd, but I assume sfs is a squashfile
good luck

I think you should use a linux filesystem to extract initrd.gz .

One problem I see is that if the original initrd.gz file is not edited and I am not sure what one would comment out, but if my memory serves me right, part of the initrd.gz's instructions tell it to load the external puppy(ver).sfs file.
