My "gut reaction" is that this may not do what you want, though I could easily be mistaken. The USB /boot/efi can be updated to point to the USB /boot, but then do you want to boot an initram off the the USB key or the disk? If you boot initram off the USB, is your userland on the disk still compatible? FWIW I just use the server netinstall for repairs, although it is rare for me to need to do so. And I usually have a USB with a recent server netinstall available as I use such to do Fedora installs. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
