Ok, I have never used genkernel, and have no desire to... |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I have no idea what dracut is or how to use it... |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I have a remote system that has /usr on a separate partition. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |

| 16 |
How do I find out if I am actually *using* an initramfs right now (I |
| 17 |
know it is built into the kernel), and |
| 18 |

If I am not, how do I do this without using genkernel? Is dracut t he |
| 20 |
only other option? Is it easy/trivial to set one up manually? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I cannot imagine that gentoo is just going to throw me to the wolves |
