(It's double posted. So, reply to your mailing list). :-)<br>

How do I
<ul>
<li><b>unpack</b> an existing /boot/initrd.img-x.y.z (Debian)</li>
<li><b>repack</b> back.</li>
</ul>
<p>Of course, I need to do some work in between... hence, the
question.</p>
<p>To unpack, I can use 'unmkinitramfs'.</p>
<p>But, I can't seem to repack an initrd from <b>current</b>
directory. 'mkinitramfs' always takes stuffs from my system
directory (/lib/modules/x.y.z/). Current directory has many
add-ons from the original initrd, that I don't have, so I don't
want to lose it.</p>
<p> mkinitramfs -v -r ./ -o ~/new_initrd.img x.y.z</p>
<p>According to manpage, "-r ./" should force the root directory as
current directory, but it doesn't seem to.</p>
