Where do I find this mdassemble? A grep of Contents-i386.gz gives:
usr/bin/mdassembler devel/monodoc-base
I doubt that is what you refer to.
mdassemble would be good, but having it linked to busybox would be better.
Having dynamically linked binaries in the initramfs causes a lot of disk
space to be used by libc. Having two statically linked binaries means two
copies of common libc code (EG printf).
