Ok, let it be 5 if it is that important. I'll keep naming it 4 in this |
| 30 |
thread, but I'll remember to name it 5 later. |

No. I want to write it from scratch. Don't worry about the initramfs |
| 36 |
generator - the only change is required here is removing kernel build |
| 37 |
parts and rename it to geninitramfs. I won't break anything yours |
| 38 |
there. :-) And this is why I want to make it separate. If Gentoo |
| 39 |
initramfs generator needs some changes it will be apart from Genkernel |
| 40 |
and vice versa as it will be with Dracut vs Genkernel4. |
