18 When you install your kernel, do you use make install or do you copy the
19 kernel to /boot manually?  I do mine manually but also copy it manually
20 as well.  That makes it hard for me to recall how to use the dracut
21 command.  It requires a kernel version etc etc.

23 If you do copy yours manually to /boot, what command do you use for
24 dracut?  Maybe I'm doing it a hard way or something and you have a
25 easier method.
