But it makes no sense to use cramfs or squashfs on a ramdisk. You *want* to run these directly from flash. But then, of course, you need alternate images (or other tricks) for full image updates. [Single file updates can be done using overlay file systems; see the DULG for details.] Best regards, Wolfgang Denk -- Software Engineering: Embedded and Realtime Systems, Embedded Linux Phone: (+49)-8142-66989-10 Fax: (+49)-8142-66989-80 Email: wd at denx.de Just about every computer on the market today runs Unix, except the Mac (and nobody cares about it). - Bill Joy 6/21/85
