+Description: tools for generating an initramfs
+ This package contains tools to create and boot an initramfs for packaged 2.6
+ Linux kernel. The initramfs is a gzipped cpio archive. At boot time, the
+ kernel unpacks that archive into RAM, mounts and uses it as initial root file
+ system. The mounting of the real root file system occurs in early user space.
+ klibc provides utilities to setup root. Having the root on EVMS, MD, LVM2,
+ LUKS or NFS is also supported.
+ Any boot loader with initrd support is able to load an initramfs archive.
