Slackware packages dracut |
|
The Slackware project is introducing a new tool, or at least a new-to-Slackware tool. The package, called dracut, is already used in the Red Hat family to generate an initial RAM filesystem. This information is loaded into memory during the boot process. The Slackware changelog documents the new dracut tool: "This is Red Hat's tool to generate an initramfs (aka initrd). Around here, we try not to suffer from Not Invented Here Syndrome (some might say the less we invent, the better. It never hurts to have additional options, and it even looks like our old friend David Cantrell is on the 'authors' list. I've had good luck here with: 'dracut --hostonly --force /boot/initrd-6.10.11-generic.img'. Thanks to Didier Spaier for convincing me to try it out." |
