I do not know why I am in cc, having no particular knowledge of initrds; but indeed I find your argument convincing, assuming you have tested to boot into the resulting system. Andreas

It's there only to keep MAKE-GUILE-STATIC-STRIPPED private. In fact I'd move it to (gnu system linux-initrd) if I choose to rewrite it to opt into modules rather than out of them. That saves more than a few megabytes more, and boots fine, at the expense of not having them available at the 'early boot REPL'. I'll see. >but indeed I find your argument convincing, assuming you have tested to >boot into the resulting system. The patch was sent from one. Thanks! Kind regards, T G-R Sent on the go. Excuse or enjoy my brevity.
