Re: [PATCH] linux-initrd: Introduce way to add more packages to initrd.

Hello,

Tomáš Čech <address@hidden> skribis:

I didn’t comment on the patch specifically because I thought my reply
might make you change your mind.  ;-)

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-07/msg01241.html

All the packages used by the initrd are automatically part of the
initrd.  The proposed patch would allow people to add unused packages to
the initrd.

Could you explain how/when this would be used?  Maybe as commands for
use by Bournish when it’s used as a rescue shell?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
