However, the HWM firmware changes rarely, and if anybody really wants the OS InitRD to receive new firmware, they can run os-initrd-mgr. | mozes@slackware | | have a/kernel-firmware package trigger an initrd rebuild.| Low | This is to capture any new firmware for their Hardware Model.

 | Switch OSinitrd to use LZMA compression | n/a | os-initrd-mgr supports decompression of gzip and LZMA, but presently compresses with gzip. LZMA reduces size of initrd by ~10MB, but compression time is approx 4 mins compared to 1 minute for gzip; so increases time taken for kernel package upgrades and using os-initrd-mgr directly. kernel.SlackBuild would also need modifying to initially compress it. Unsure if it's worth the bother for the half second more it takes to load 10more MB. | mozes@slackware | | Switch OSinitrd to use LZMA compression | n/a | os-initrd-mgr supports decompression of gzip and LZMA, but presently compresses with gzip.

 +| Improvement | Low | GRUB on HoneyComb: Enable selection of boot order from within the Installer. This enables user to select the Headed vs Headless (serial) option rather than editing the grub config manually. | mozes@slackware |
