Dear Wolfgang Denk, I'm just looking at the SELF image and I observed that when I extract the image and try to rebuild it (without adding or removing any files) the dimension of result file is about 9KByte greater than the original. I have followed the procedure "How to increase the Size of ramdisk" to generate an 8MByte ramdisk thus I was expecting a small increase of the bytes amount, but never as reported. Do you think I'm wrong somewhere?
Here enclosed is the script file. any helps would be apreciated. Many thanks Alessandro.
