Didn't you strive for manipulating the initrd in /d-i/gtk/initrd.gz of the ISO ? (Are you still with debian-live-11.5.0-amd64-xfce.iso , where i see no /live/initrd.gz but /live/initrd.img-5.10.0-18-amd64 ?) > echo /usr/share/plymouth/debian-logo.png | cpio -H newc -o -A -F initrd I see in both initrds only relative paths. In /live/initrd.img-5.10.0-18-amd64 : . bin conf conf/arch.conf In /d-i/gtk/initrd.gz : bin bin/anna bin/anna-install So i would strive for such a path with the appended file: cd / ; echo usr/share/plymouth/debian-logo.png | cpio ... > Furthermore,I would like to know how to remove a file that's stored inside a > cpio archive For that you have to unpack the cpio archive, do the desired manipulations, and pack up the archive from the manipulated tree. (This will also avoid multiple occurences of the same file path, of which the last one survives when unpacking the archive.) So it's about time you read https://www.gnu.org/software/cpio/manual/cpio.html which proposes for unpacking: cpio -idv < tree.cpio Do this in some playground directory. "tree.cpio" is the placeholder name for your decompressed archive. If you have absolute paths in the archive you need option --no-absolute-filenames. The manual proposes for packing up the manipulated archive: find . -print -depth | cpio -ov > tree.cpio Option -v will cause both operations to report all file paths. You might want to omit it. Have a nice day :) Thomas
