Unless I'm missing something I'll end up with an initrd.img that will boot the system I run mkinitrd on. It will not have the contents that the initrd.img has on
the CDs.

I've looked inside the /boot/initrd.img and
images/pxeboot/initrd.img and they have massive differences
in files in the img.

The 2.6.17 kernel is fine in this case. But the initrd.gz that
is installed in /boot is nothing like the images/pxeboot/initrd.img
from the installation CD.

I need to know how the images/pxeboot/initrd.img  was made
so that I can make a new one for the 2.6.17 kernel.

Can anyone point in the right direction?
