[This may not be the place to ask this question.  If I'm not in the right place
could someone point me to the correct list?  TIA]

I'm wondering about why the rpm kernel install (via dracut) method results in an
initramfs but the install targets have an initrd.  Is there any technical reason
for the difference?

Thanks,

P.
