opened my initrd
 

I copied the initrd from the installation DVD
and as root run following command
gzip -dc initrd | cpio -id

as an output I got following files and directories

I thought of reading the init script here which I thought was having linuxrc to start the installation but


it was : ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.4, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.4, stripped

which I could not read can any one tell me how can I read this script or if not then how can I make my own init script that starts for installation may be some where I can get a sample init that has linuxrc for installation
