If I recall correctly, it took me at least three or four web sites and |
| 61 |
the man page to get dracut to work. This is something that needs to be |
| 62 |
worked on hugely before this goes to much farther. Gentoo doesn't need |
| 63 |
to lose its status on the docs. I tried to follow the Gentoo doc and it |
| 64 |
would not even boot. I tried everything I could find but it still |
| 65 |
didn't work. Out of date, maybe. I dunno. It just didn't work for |
| 66 |
me. Thing is, my current setup doesn't even need one. I plan to have a |
| 67 |
separate /usr on LVM as soon as I can get me one more large drive. I'll |
| 68 |
have to have one then. |
