Feature added by: Luis Medinas (lmedinas) Feature #310491, revision 1 Title: Add dracut to openSUSE openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Luis Medinas (lmedinas) Description: Dracut is suppose to be a replacement for the old initrd tools like mkinitrd.
From the project description, dracut is an initramfs infrastructure. Unlike previous initramfs systems, Dracut aims to have as little as possible hard-coded into the initramfs.
It contains specific configuration files for init drivers and includes plymouth support. Dracut advantage seems to be a modern replacement to generate initrd and it's suppose to be easy to use/manage. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310491
