Hi Guilherme,

Nice to hear that.
Now i'm making a legacy tree for the MkInitRamFS (i did not remove the
functions for making it as a usual Gobo one, if in a future i can
resolve the symlinks problem) in order to save space in the cpio file. 
I will send you tomorrow my code (in a future it should be ordered but
i think is functional at the moment, it was a quick hack to test the
initramfs support for lvm).
My code is a lua script, which is able to make a full tree (GoboLinux
or legacy) and add programs to it.
I'm trying to do it keeping in mind full customize, you can edit a
ConfigTree lua table (in a external file) to configure how the tree
should be done, what symlinks to do, what programs to install and so
on, so can be used to make a initramfs image to fit any use (maybe a
general one too).
I will tell you what things i will change in a future and how i will do
it when i send you my script.

Greets.
Aitor.
