10 Is it truely that much documentation? The handbook doesn't suggest separate
11 /usr anymore (all example partitions use a single / file system), and the
12 necessary changes to setup an initramfs are being prepared (cfr bugs related
13 to bug #407959).
14
15 There will be some updates in the quickinstall for raid/lvm, but that's
16 hardly a minor update to the document.
17
18 We might want to provide an initramfs-guide to explain the concepts and the
19 various methods for generating one (as well as debugging), but that too
20 might not be the most difficult thing out there (there's still time for
21 that, no)?
