I did strip it. It came out to be: 718636 bytes. I think the old one was 644264 bytes. I was puzzled, since I didn't think it was that much bigger, but I still could not copy it to the initrd. I was under the gun, so I did not have time to investigate it. I resorted to the workaround about putting the KS files in the initrd image, and using file:/... It still is bugging me though that it would not copy over????? thanks, --brett p.s. This is what I did to copy it over: - mkdir /mnt/boot - mount -o loop -t msdos boot.img /mnt/boot - gzip -dc /mnt/boot/initrd.img > /tmp/initrd.ext2 - mkdir /mnt/initrd - mount -o loop /tmp/initrd.ext2 /mnt/initrd - cp /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/anaconda-7.1/loader/loader /mnt/initrd/sbin/ - umount /mnt/initrd - gzip -c /tmp/initrd.ext2 > /mnt/boot/initrd.img This is where I get the message: gzip: stdout: No space left on device I also tried to gzip it up to a different directory, and then copy it over, but it still would not work (when I tried the copy).
