FWIW, the Elinos DevKit contains an example project ...
Is the Elinos DevKit as free as Linux kernel (or for example ELDK) ?
No, it's not. For some strange reason, grocery-stores here in Germany want
money for their stuff, so we need money to pay them. Otherwise I'd love to
send you a free copy. ;-) But seriously: of course, all the free software is
provided with full source code, including the the Elinos Linux kernel. No
licensing or royalty strings attached either.
Marius,

So you're going to delight us with a copy (just to present the idea) of the
build scripts...!? ;-)

No. The topic here was "creating a flash disk (JFFS2) instead of a initrd"...

I don't know about elinos. I wanted to use DENX ELDK to create a minimal root
fs. Do you know the ELDK?

Ah, well obviously the Build-Scripts are our work, and are not GPLed.
You do get their source code with Elinos, though. The idea (which you
asked for) is simple enough: Project A boots the target. It has
Networking and MTD built in. An installer tool (shipped with source
code) does the following:

- configure the network i/f
- format the MTD block dev(s).
- download (streaming, actually, to allow for unlimited size) and
  install the kernel image and root file system of Project B
fs. Do you know the ELDK?
No (not yet, at least).

Regards,
Marius
