I do copy mine manually. It's how it was done when I first started |
| 32 |
using Gentoo and I just stuck with it, it works. It's just one |
| 33 |
additional file. Thing is, I may read up on the script way of doing |
| 34 |
things. It may help make dracut and grub-mkconfig happy. Sometimes I |
| 35 |
have to fiddle with names to get them both happy. I suspect the script |
| 36 |
tools handle that with ease. |

Now I got to go find that signature about the cat and free bagpipes. I |
| 39 |
want to send that to a friend. She'll get a kick out of that. lol |
