34 If you have got it working once, it should take less than 15 minutes
35 (I've made myself a bashscript with the exact dracut commandline
36 parameters needed for my system).

38 But I have to agree with you, that exotic setups (I have encypted root
39 on my laptop) are very bad documented.
40 If dracut shall become standard for Gentoo (alternative: genkernel can
41 build an initramfs) someone will have to write an exact howto with the
42 most important (or better all) commandline arguments and kernel
43 commandline parameters.
