The options for this are looking like: |
| 7 |
- static initramfs that I proposed (WilliamH has an early prototype) |
| 8 |
- genkernel |
| 9 |
- dracut |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
WilliamH's prototype seems to mostly work, I just want to polish it some |
| 12 |
and then release it. I think we can offer it as an easy default to |
| 13 |
users, since it doesn't need to be rebuilt when the kernel is rebuilt at |
| 14 |
all. |
