I'd be interested to see them, although I like the idea of not depending |
| 11 |
on an initrd. As I no longer run a separate /boot, it wouldn't reduce my |
| 12 |
partition count either. |

It's not something I'd really given any thought. Now you mention it, I'd |
| 27 |
probably put swap on LVM next time. |

Still, my current setup means I can expand / by switching swap to LVM |
| 30 |
and adding the space to / :) |
