When Rich wrote the 2nd edition he added over 500 pages of material expanding the book into two volumes. Anytime you redo a project like that it gets better. But I don't agree that the first edition has fewer typos. The 2nd edition was too massive of a revision.

Now that Rich is no longer with us, two other guys have taken over the project. The first volume of edition 3 is out. I was browsing it at the bookstore. Among the new subjects I noticed: IPv6, Virtual Networks, Datalink programming, IPsec, and SCTP.

I'm going to get edition 3 and that's what I recommend. The only reason to go with edition 1 is to save money. You could probably pick one up cheap on ebay.

MKCRAMFS(8)						      Debian GNU/Linux Manual						       MKCRAMFS(8)

NAME

       mkcramfs - make a compressed ROM file system

SYNOPSIS

       mkcramfs [-h] [-b blksize] [-e edition] [-i file] [-n name] dirname outfile

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents briefly the mkcramfs command.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be
       used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.

       mkcramfs constructs a CramFs from the contents of dirname.  The image of the resulting file system is placed in outfile.

OPTIONS

       -h     Give a brief help message.

       -E     Make all warnings errors (non-zero exit status).

       -b blksize
	      Set the block size of the generated file system.

       -e edition
	      Set the edition number (part of fsid).

       -i file
	      Insert a file image into the filesystem (requires Linux >= 2.4.0).

       -n name
	      Set the name of the CramFs filesystem.

       -p     Pad by 512 bytes for boot code.

       -s     Sort directory entries (old option, ignored).

       -v     Turn on verbose mode.

       -z     Make explicit holes (requires Linux >= 2.3.39).

AUTHOR

       mkcramfs is written by Linus Torvalds and Daniel Quinlan.  Manual page added by Herbert Xu.
