If the reaction of people in this mailing list is anything to go by, Gentoo won't be following Fedora. Yes, that one developer seems to want to empty /bin and /sbin. He wants to abolish single user mode. Whether that's official policy at Fedora remains to be seen. Still, there's one program that can't be moved, and that's /sbin/init. :-) (We'll see if the kernel hackers are willing to make it a compile time option to use /usr/sbin/init instead. I doubt it, somehow.) By the way are there any Gentoo documents which document the process of creating an initramfs? > Best, > Michael -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
