- usr1106 3y agoSure it does. But that's not because the article shows us any new trick, it's just because they use the original and most basic tool to generate an initramfs.
- Retr0id 3y agogen_init_cpio is not the original cpio archiver utility. It's only obvious to know to use it if you already know about it. The Linux kernel docs cover it, sure, but the whole point of the OP is a more approachable introduction to the same information.
