1) Feedback:
Tested one computer and it worked fine.
Used refind to boot - it has encrytped /home but not root.
Got text prompt for passphrase not graphical - think there is a way to
get graphical as well but need to read further how to do that. I prefer
text as I also can see the boot progress details which is helpful.
Still, be good to know how to get the graphical prompt anyway.


I suppose as more and more people start using it, we'll eventually have
instructions on how to do these more custom environments.

Created initrd using
# dracut --kver xxx


No need for using --kver, unless your booted kernel differs from the installed
one. The pacman hooks will have to use kver, most likely.

This seems to contain pretty much everything best I can tell

2) Question:
   Arch typically has used unversioned initrd images which has the
   convenience that the boot standzas don't need updating on new kernel.


Just dracut -f /boot/initramfs-linux.img. It is that simple.

or perhps soft link (ln -s)?


We don't need to make things that complex.
