You should create a file system (for instance, on floppy), populate it with neccessary files (i.e. kernel modules) and then use dd to copy it to file. Alternatively, you may create empty file using dd if=/dev/zero of=myimg.img count=2880 bs=512 (to be same as 1.44 flopy) then run mkfs on it (minix filesystem is preferrable becouse it have less overhead than ext2), then mount it with -o loop option and populate with files. You'll need loopback device support in you kernel. Refer to /usr/src/linux/Documentation/initrd.txt for more inforamtion. : If you know the solution, please mail it to me @ : onnoj@hotmail.com Thnk you! -- ������� �����? ����� ������. --- �.�. ���
