I think I'm entitled to be recognized as an old fart by now :-p
I'm sure you are, but does that prevent you from moving with the times?
I still think the main point is that you don't actually dabble with building initrds yourself, you are happy to follow instructions to do so, when needed. In the future, no one is going to direct you to run mkinitrd, so what is the point of having an alias.
Per,
You may have read from me and Andrei the multiples scenarios in which people have to run mkinitrd manually. I have been in most of them.
No, I have totally missed that. I thought you were talking about having to create initrds manually. For the last couple of years, I have not been in a single situation where I _had_ to run mkinitrd. dracut was very useful though.
well i am now over 52 years old, and one of my favorite sentence (trying to bring it to english) there is a lot of new development, but very seldom there is something developed what is better than the old stuff. in german: es wird viel neues entwickelt, aber selten was besseres. simoN -- www.becherer.de ----------------------------------------------- - Das ist die vorlaeufig endgueltige Version! - Herbert C.
