Is there any reason that the creation, use and maintenance of the |
| 10 |
initramfs couldn't be as simple as a checkbox in the kernel config, so |
| 11 |
that running 'make' after the kernel was configured would automatically |
| 12 |
build it? Then, all I'd have to do is move it into /boot along with the |
| 13 |
new kernel (just like I do now), with *nothing* else required, and the |
| 14 |
kernel would call it, and things would just work (as long as it was |
| 15 |
there and I didn't forget to copy it to /boot). |
