No it won't, as the initramfs can be built into the kernel image. |

I think you have that the wrong way round. An initramfs is simpler in |
| 16 |
that you don't have to worry about creating a filesystem or even creating |
| 17 |
the image file, just give the kernel compilation process a file |
| 18 |
containing a list of what should be in it. |
