The initrd has the modules required for ext3, a static insmod, a statis 'ash', static pivot_root, and a linuxrc that mounts the needed root partition... (0 Replies)

Вобщем смысл поста такой:
я пытаюсь сделать Linux на дискетке и всё это опробовать на 386... =D
поскольку памяти там мало, а ядро и initrd вроде как зажаты, я хотел бы узнать
а) я сделал ядро (bzImage) оно 600 Кб. оно в памяти займёт 600 Кб или оно ещё разожмётся?
б) аналогично с initrd. и ещё: он вроде 4МБ а можно в параметрах ядра сделать поменьше, можно-ли в 1-2МБ памяти уместить initrd и ядро?

plymouth-set-default-theme
PLYMOUTH-SET-DEFAU(1) User Commands PLYMOUTH-SET-DEFAU(1)
NAME
plymouth-set-default-theme - Set the plymouth theme
SYNOPSIS
plymouth-set-default-theme [OPTION...] [THEME]
DESCRIPTION
When called with a THEME argument, the plymouth-set-default-theme command changes the preferred boot theme and also performs the necessary
regeneration of the initial ramdisk (initrd) since plymouth is loaded from the boot loader from the initrd prior to the mounting of the
root filesystem.
If plymouth-set-default-theme is invoked with no options or parameters, it shows the currently selected theme by default. This output is
used by the helper scripts plymouth-generate-initrd and plymouth-update-initrd to set the proper theme in the initial ramdisk.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
-l, --list
List available themes.
-r, --reset
Reset to default theme.
-R, --rebuild-initrd
Rebuild initrd (necessary after changing theme).
