-Description: tools for generting an Ubuntu-style initramfs
- This package generates an initramfs for an Ubuntu system.
+Description: tools for generating an initramfs
+ This package contains tools to create and boot an initramfs for prepackaged
+ 2.6 Linux kernel. The initramfs is an cpio archive. At boot time, the kernel
+ unpacks that archive into ram, mounts and uses it as initial root file system.
+ From there on the mounting of the real root file system occurs in user space.
+ klibc handles the boot-time networking setup. Supports nfs root system.
+ Any boot loader with initrd support is able to load an initramfs archive.
