How is Kiosk's initrd made exactly?

[claude]

I assume its files are made into an archive with cpio and compressed with xz..
But what are the exact cpio and xz commands used to make and compress Kiosk's initrd.xz?

[brokenman]

Create a working directory at /tmp/unpacked and change into it then issue:
xz -d < initrd.xz | cpio -i

You can repack with this:
find | cpio -H newc -o | xz --check=crc32 --x86 --lzma2 > /tmp/initrd.xz
