Hi,

I tried to create an initrd and got:

debian:~# mkinitramfs 2.6.26

Usage: /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs [OPTION]... <-o outfile> [version]

Options:
  -d confdir  Specify an alternative configuration directory.
  -k          Keep temporary directory used to make the image.
  -o outfile  Write to outfile.
  -r root     Override ROOT setting in mkinitrd.conf.

See mkinitramfs(8) for further details.


Mhm, strange ... I opened mkinitramfs(8) which advises:

mkinitramfs [-d confdir] [-k] [-o outfile] [-r root] [-v] [version]

Nevertheless it seems that "-o outfile" is *not* optional and required.
Also in the Usage line I don't know how to parse "<-o outfile>". Why do you use 
<>?

I suggest to change the manpage to
mkinitramfs [-d confdir] [-k] -o outfile [-r root] [-v] [version]
and the Usage line to
Usage: /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs [OPTION]... -o outfile [version]

Jens
