====== Build An initramfs ======

An initramfs is a kernel with an include filesystem that can be use directly from uboot with clunc.
You can use miniroot or buildroot to build an initramfs.

===== MiniRoot =====

=== About ===

Miniroot is intended to be a simple solution to build and/or develop a minimal system based on Linux and BusyBox.
The system is "makefile-oriented" with few shell scripts. Its main goal is to be human readable.

=== How to ===

The project is available on git : 
    git clone git://lacie-nas.org/miniroot.git    

Customisations are done by writing your own config.mk (see doc/ directory).
  
The list of relevant variables can be found in headers of .mk files or in the main Makefile.

===== BuildRoot =====

=== About ===

Buildroot is a set of Makefiles that makes it easy to generate a complete Linux system.
Buildroot is a project quite bigger than miniroot but have higher capabilities.

=== How to ===

The project is available on :
     http://buildroot.uclibc.org/
 
Buildroot has a nice configuration tool similar to the one you can find in the Linux kernel. 
The configuration assistant can be run with :
     make menuconfig
