make all with build the initramfs, just set the source path in the kernel |
| 18 |
config. |

Yes it is, I now I used to waste my time like that. Now I have a config |
| 26 |
file that lists what needs to go into the initramfs and the kernel build |
| 27 |
automatically pulls everything in for me. The only other thing I need is |
| 28 |
the init script. So I get the benefit of hand crafting everything with |
| 29 |
the ease of automated building. |
