| 7 | I assume you mean taking a livecd and packing it into a initramfs. I |
| 8 | would suggest you read this guide: |

| 12 | RDSIZE will have to be substantially larger though, large enough to |
| 13 | fit whatever your putting into the image. Ubuntu Karmic netinstall is |
| 14 | about 12Mb [1] so 13000 might be appropriate, iirc initramfs cannot |
| 15 | exceed 16Mb (if this isn't true let me know :D). Some hackery of the |
| 16 | "init" script will likely be required. |
