I am running Linux 2.4.x on my embedded ARM board. Right now my ramdisk
is over 5M and I like to reduce the size of the ramdisk by removing
some junk, and moving the rest of the stuff into my JFFS2 partition.

How do I remove some of the stuff in the ramdisk via the config? Which
config file do I modify?

How do I move the stuff I want to keep into the JFFS2 paritition? Do I
just copy the stuff I want from ramdisk into the partition?

Can I build the image and run without any ramdisk?

What command can I issue to find out what size each binary is taking up
in the ramdisk?

Thanks

My ramdisk is mounted on '/' and the contents of the ramdisk is:

# ls
bin etc lib mnt sbin usr
dev home lost+found proc tmp var

# mount

/dev/ram0 on / type ext2 (rw)

/proc on /proc type proc (rw)

#df
