We have two different packages for dracut depending on which bootloader you choose during installation. Both packages, `eos-dracut` and `kernel-install-for-dracut`, have been updated with a new config file enabling a couple of options. The config file is located at `/etc/eos-dracut.conf` and `/etc/kernel-install-for-dracut.conf` respectively. Other than the name, the config files are identical. There are currently two options in the config. The first enables dracut’s quiet mode to suppress most messages when building the initrd. The other option allows you to not generate a fallback initrd. Both options are disabled by default. Instructions on how to set those values is contained in the conf file directly. ---

You should already have one of them installed if you are using dracut. Just stick with that one. ---

At least with the Cassini.ISO kernel-install-for-dracut is preinstalled. There must be a reason for this. Sorry, overlap with the posting of dalto. ---

already made the changes yesterday (according to github 30 minutes after you released the package 😉 ), works like a charm, thanks! ---

I have the package `kernel-install-for-dracut 1.7-2`. I just edited the `/etc/kernel-install-for-dracut.conf` file to this: ```auto # This config file controls the automation provided by kernel-install-for-dracut # When DRACUT_QUIET is set to true, dracut will operate with quiet flag set suppressing most output DRACUT_QUIET="true" # When NO_FALLBACK is set to true, no fallback initrd will be generated #NO_DRACUT_FALLBACK="false" ``` and then ran `sudo reinstall-kernels`. ---

I think I added that while trying to make `dracut` quiet [here](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/less-output-for-kernel-install-for-dracut/36090/5). It was your suggestion, it looks like haha. Anyway, removing that seems to work! ---
