Hi,

I have FC5 installed on my system, I want to tweak something in my
initrd.img file,
The problem is how do i acces the filesystem on the initrd.img,

I remmember having been able to access initrd.img on debian and knoppix
systems,
what did was -
i uncompressed the initrd.img
then simply mounted it into a temporary directory -
mount initrd_uncompressed.img /mnt/temp -o loop -t ext3 (or ext2)

but it just doesnt work on fc5 !, it says bad superblock error and all

Starting with (I think) FC3 (but maybe FC2), Fedora initrd images are
compressed cpio archives.
