Hi Ray,
I have to disagree. And why? Becuase of my experience. Few days ago one

looks like password dialog. He was really surprised that it's

Plymouth is graphical and so would need to ship fonts, font
renderering libraries, and translations in the initrd to display text.
That's a non-starter.
Could we prerender the text on initrd creation

Yes, if you have modesetting enabled and get a graphical splash

Hi,
What if / is encrypted, and /usr is a different volume encrypted with a
different password? We can't leave initrd yet because everything in / that we
actually _need_ isn't available.
Sysadmins on crack break everything...
True, if you

LiveCD boot has liveimg in cmdline. We could automatically skip
various parts of the bootup if parameter exists. I suppose there are no
drawbacks to this?

There should be an easy and intuitive way to access the hard disks from the

Hi,
What do others think? Should the LiveCD by default access and

This seems like a misfeature in dracut for LiveCD or
