http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1136977 http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1136977#c14 --- Comment #14 from Daniel Molkentin --- I was jumping to conclusions too fast here. In fact there is a cmdline scriptlet that purposefully exports $(getenv root=) to $root, see line 133 of the bootlog: [ 5.116958] dracut-cmdline[211]: /bin/dracut-cmdline@27(): root=live:CDLABEL=openSUSE_Tumbleweed_KDE_Live So you CAN rely on $boot, but ONLY in the context of cmdline scriptlets. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
