Adding a directory with the Squashfs files in plain format (rather than as patches) to the release tarball is possible. I've had a look at [1] and this doesn't look too much extra work. There are a couple of issues: 1. The Makefile will be a "simple" build out of kernel Makefile suitable for most people. Invariably you'll have to replace this with your Makefile. 2. The Kbuild config options won't be available. I'll add a change to define CONFIG_SQUASHFS_FRAGMENT_CACHE_SIZE if the Kbuild system hasn't defined it, as I see you've had to do so. 3. The initrd support depends on patching the kernel. This won't be supported by the out of kernel build code. Phillip
