remove the tmpcoregz?

[akballow]

Hey thanks for the awesome code it made my life easy to make a simple tiny linux which runs a script on boot up.

One thing I do not understand how it works is why is the tmpcoregz file present in core*.gz file?

For example I put a binary in the opt folder which takes 100MB and the tmpcoregz is 100MB + the core linux, so I have essentially 100M + 100M + Core linux MB, aka double the expected space.

I tried to figure out what is going on and if you have any input in this old thing you done it would be super awesome!!!!

TBH I don't really recall, it's been a while.

Reading my own code, it seems that the tmpcoregz is moved to be the core*.gz file, and is not contained there.

Can you provide more information about it?

Thanks for the reply for something you have done a long time ago!

Yeah so specifically this line
find | fakeroot cpio -o -H newc | gzip -2 > tmpcoregz && fakeroot mv tmpcoregz ../iso/boot/core*.gz

It does copy the contents from core into the ../iso/boot/core*.gz file but it also copied the whole tmpcoregz file into it as well so it is double the size.

I also attached a screen showing a 377MB file with the tmpcoregz making half of it about

I think i solved it by doing
find | fakeroot cpio -o -H newc | gzip -2 > ../iso/boot/core*.gz

Can you send a PR?
