cpio is a tool for space aliens

i'm glad tar won. this shit sucks

please, cpio. i just want to replace some files in you

@BestGirlGrace is initramfs a cpio or am I misremembering

@ben @BestGirlGrace yesn’t

@ben @BestGirlGrace it’s cpio but Formatted Weird that you need a special tool to do it and can’t just use standard cpio raccommands

@charlotte @BestGirlGrace sounds fun

@ben @BestGirlGrace in practice it’s fine unless you are homebrewing your own initrd

the special tool is ofc shipped with the linux kernel

never mind, i'm the world's wisest genius
