Dracut is masked on ~amd64. Bugs me, as I'd rather use something like |
23 |
that than genkernel (I very much like building my own kernels; it |
24 |
helps me keep things lean, and keeps me familiar with the capabilities |
25 |
of current and future systems). But now I have to find time to learn |
26 |
how to use Genkernel. |

If we're going to be shoved into tight space like this, I'd be nice if |
29 |
the "you can just use $x" tools work on stable. I've got three |
30 |
previously-working systems at home I can't risk rebooting right now |
31 |
because of this udev+/usr nonsense. I almost invariably put /usr and |
32 |
/home on top of LVM, RAID or both. |
