Yeah i was.. i just wanted to re-emphasize the point that the tools |
| 35 |
to mount it need to be on the initramfs (in whatever version or form |
| 36 |
they were when the initramfs was built), and really have nothing to do |

with them (including their current and possibly more up-to-date |
| 38 |
version) living on said partition.. |
