Hey everyone
i'm really confused between ( initrd , initramfs ) i've done some researches about these two files so i've found out that the main difference is that the distribution , in debian we use "initramfs" and redhat based "initrd" ...but the issue is that in the book :
CompTIA® Linux+® XK0-005 Exam Cram by William “Bo” Rothwell :
PART1 ,CHAPTER1 , page 46 : basic boot process . he mentioned that initramfs created by mkinitrd :
so is it possible to create initramfs using mkinitrd ? is there something i missed in this ?
thank you very much ! and sorry for my noob level , i'm really trying hard but still need some professional help to make things clear for me .
