mkinitrd-net-1.10-31mdv2007.0 RPM for i586

From Mandriva 2007.0 for x86_64 / media / main / release

mkinitrd-net allows you to build initial ramdisk images (initrds) suitable
for use with Etherboot and other network-booting software.  This package
contains two main utilities: mkinitrd-net (to build an initrd containing a
specified set of network-card modules) and mknbi (to generate
Etherboot-usable NBI images from a given kernel and initrd).  It also
contains a helper script mknbi-set which will maintain sets of initrds to
match all your currently-installed kernels.

mkinitrd-net uses code from the uClibc, busybox, and Etherboot
projects.

  - revert changes, will try to integrate my modifications with the original
    author's work.
* Sun Dec 21 2003 Jean-Michel Dault <jmdault@mandrakesoft.com> 1.10-7mdk
  - use mknbi 1.4.3 so we're compatible with latest etherboot and rom-o-matic
    images.  This release also fixes a serious bug in mkelf-linux where initrds
    larger than 1 MB do not work.
  - add memcmp patch since this function is missing from gcc 3.3.2 (weird!)
  - add nfsroot override to udhcp to be able to specify an argument to
    the kernel to boot from a different nfs server. This is mandatory
    in case there's a central dhcp server that we don't control, like most
    big organizations. This will also enable booting off a FAT32 partition
    or DiscOnChip, with "loadlin vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img nfsroot=whatever".
  - update to busybox 1.00-pre4, with integrated udhcp (fixes the extra
    space in variables problem)
  - use uClibc from contribs to build instead of the bundled one that doesn't
    work. busybox+udhcp should be about 200K, *not* over 1 meg!
  - move wlanctl to its own package so we save ramdisk space, since most
    installations do not use Xterminals over wireless links
* Fri Dec 19 2003 Stew Benedict <sbenedict@mandrakesoft.com> 1.10-6mdk
  - remove old /tftpboot link
  - new dhcpd.conf.etherboot.include - keeps new etherboot 
  - from crashing dhcpd server - patch3
