How to get access to initrd file system

Hello!
I'm trying to learn thinstation. And now trying to get access to initrd file system. So I get initrd from iso image of thinstation and mount it to /mnt/ram after losetup. df -h output says that 53 Mb of directory where initrd mounted is used. But here is output of du -sh /mnt/ram/*:
 root <at> plutakhin:/mnt/ram# du -sh * /mnt/ram/
0       dev
0       linuxrc
0       mnt
0       proc
0       sbin
0       sys
20K     thinstation.buildtime
0       tmp
165K    usr
0       var
184K    /mnt/ram/
root <at> plutakhin:/mnt/ram#
There is nothing that wheight about 53 Mb.

What is wrong?
How can I put  my own files to thinstation built image?

If you mean one of the LiveCD's then I'd be surprised as well..
I don't know about your listing above, but that doesn't include the /bin
or /lib directories, so most things are missing....

Re: How to get access to initrd file system

The decision is to use unsquashfs and mksquashfs.
