I do copy mine manually. It's how it was done when I first started using Gentoo and I just stuck with it, it works. It's just one additional file. Thing is, I may read up on the script way of doing things. It may help make dracut and grub-mkconfig happy. Sometimes I have to fiddle with names to get them both happy. I suspect the script tools handle that with ease. Now I got to go find that signature about the cat and free bagpipes. I want to send that to a friend. She'll get a kick out of that. lol Dale :-) :-)
