We shouldn't need to change the system configuration to test changes to
initramfs-tools. It's possible to use the -d argument with a custom
config directory this purpose, but testing different MODULES settings is
necessary frequently enough that it deserves its own shortcut. Add a -m
argument to mkinitramfs that overrides the MODULES setting.

Added a COMPRESSLEVEL parameter to initramfs.conf, a -l flag to
mkinitramfs, and updated initramfs.conf.5 and mkinitramfs.8 to match.

Instead of listing all the options, only mention -o (which is non-
optional) and show that other options can be included.

When using inline markup, all whitespace is significant, so these
options had an extra space in front of them.

An initramfs image is not a ramdisk, even though it is passed to the
kernel in the same way as an initrd.

The --supported-{host,target}-version option were only supported by
mkinitramfs-kpkg, which was removed in version 0.99.

This command supports extracting files from an initramfs image. It is
designed to be a drop-in for cpio wherever an initramfs may be present.
It is implemented using the code from lsinitramfs, which now delegates
to uninitramfs instead of cpio.

This documents problem with noexec mount options and fixes:
BTW: The information about mkinitramfs looking at $TMPDIR is missing in
the mkinitramfs(8) man page. Looked there (mostly for commandline
options) before reporting that bug. But even searching for "TMP" in
there now didn't find any hint on that.

fixed the commandline argument to select the compressor.
also your test with "command" needed to be negated otherwise the
fallback to gzip would take place everytime.

[ nuked trailing whitespace, and add comment for usage() ]
Signed-off-by: maximilian attems <maks@debian.org>
this version uses /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to determine
the compression method, checks kernel and userspace support with
fallback to gzip. Since LZO didnt work for me at all with 2.6.33
I left that out for now.
