[Fedora-livecd-list] Hybrid initramfs busybox/nash x86 and x86_64 testers

[Jasper O'neal Hartline]

Hehe.. I can see the scrunching on your face now..
It was actually simple to do, it should fix the problem with x86_64 
bootstraps.
I slimmed the livecd-mkinitrd.sh (mkinitrd) script WAY down in the process.

This doesn't mean much but I think we can probably do as you suggest and 
use /sbin/mkinitrd on the host.
I'll experiment with this soon after I get done with a current tester on 
x86_64.
