The files RedHat/base/*.img are cramfs files. If you do 'file <filename>' it will report a type of 'data' on most systems. However, if you try to mount it with a kernel that supports cramfs filesystems (grep cram /proc/filesystems) you will be fine. But then the thing is read only. So what I do is mount it up, tar it to another directory, make my changes, and then make the cramfs image again ala: mkcramfs <directory I just copied and made changes in> <new cramfs file image> Very easy to make changes. I have tried to get my changes passed all the way through the buildinstall crap that RH passes off as the way to do this and have failed every time. However, this method works perfectly. Command summary: mount -o loop stage2.img /mnt mkdir ~/cramfs cd /mnt tar cvf - . | (cd ~/cramfs ; tar xfBp -) cd ~/cramfs make your changes cd ~ mkcramfs ./cramfs ./newcramfs.img umount /mnt good luck! -brad > > > I too have grep'ed and run strings on all of the base files and boot images > and have come up with nothing.
