Hi everybody,
I am installing funtoo on my external usb harddrive, and if all looks well there I will switch to funtoo on my internal harddisk. I read that an initram is necessary when /usr is on a seperate partition, so for now I will just put /usr/portage on a seperate partition instead of /usr. And /home is a seprate partition.
Nevertheless, I don't understand why I would need an initram.
I use EXT2 for boot and EXT4 for everything else, and have support for EXT in the kernel (not module). And happily funtoo uses eudev and no systemd. Hooray for that.
So it is not really a problem
