Can you explain this part a bit? How it knows what version for example |
| 34 |
to build against? Does it follow the link in /usr/src/linux, eselect |
| 35 |

The one thing that stumps me is figuring out how to tell dracut what |
| 42 |
version I want built. I keep 2, 3 and sometimes 4 kernels of different |
| 43 |
versions lurking about in /boot. |
