Isn't that what this thread is about? "Optional /usr merge in Gentoo" |
32 |
|
33 |
Can someone please explain to me what's so hard and/or complicated |
34 |
about making an initramfs? At this point in time it's extremely |
35 |
simple for me, but I only manage relatively simple systems (although |
36 |
I'd like that to change soon). All I do is add one extra line (for |
37 |
example - "dracut -H --kver=3.11.0-rc6") to my kernel install |
38 |
procedure. |

|

Granted, the only reason I have an initramfs is for the plymouth |
41 |
splash screen (other systems aren't desktops) -- but from everything I |
42 |
can see it's not too complicated otherwise. |
