But it is a good start. For possible extensions extract your initramfs and explore it. Dracut is bloated. Try mkinitcpio. Once your have your self hosting bootmng, kernel, modules, /boot, init, etc chain, you'll be shocked to realize you have been spending so much time for that bullshit while trying to keep them up.. Get to this point in the shortest possible time. Save your precious time. And reclaim your systems reliability. For X, you'll still need udev or eudev. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
