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

Can anyone show me how to do it?

hi

it depends on the compressor

and if sfs is a squashfile unpack with (and choose a folder to unpack it into pls)

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 .

Win filesystems do not allow to create symbolic links and the puppy /bin/mount script or /bin/mount-FULL are mounting Win fs with special permissions, mostly 755 so simple text files get an executable flag .

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.
And that seems to be after loading the pupsave.(2-4)fs file. If a file in the pupsave is then present, it does not get overwritten by one in the puppy(ver).sfs when it loads.
You might ask the maker of roaring as the ISO he made had both combined in the initrd.gz file.
