Well, it gave me issues then and I couldn't boot. Even WITH dracut, if the init thingy failed, I wouldn't have a clue how to fix the stupid thing even today. Also, why use one when I don't need one? My plan, stay away from it for as long as possible. When the day comes that I have to have one, find something that installs faster. Crap, that sounds like winders don't it?
