why does mkinitrd require plymouth? There are different aims to adjust package dependencies for security or minimal installation reasons. For example: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Server We would like to eliminate several packages from the minimal install. # rpm -e libpng error: Failed dependencies: libpng12.so.0 is needed by (installed) plymouth-libs-0.6.0-0.2008.11.17.3.fc10.i386 libpng12.so.0 is needed by (installed) plymouth-0.6.0-0.2008.11.17.3.fc10.i386 libpng12.so.0(PNG12_0) is needed by (installed) plymouth-libs-0.6.0-0.2008.11.17.3.fc10.i386 [root@dhcp-lab-116 init.d]# rpm -e plymouth error: Failed dependencies: plymouth >= 0.6.0-0.2008.09.10.1 is needed by (installed) mkinitrd-6.0.71-3.fc10.i386 Can we have mkinitrd to optionally use plymouth? If its there, build it in to the initrd. Otherwise let a server boot in text mode since it doesn't have a video display on it?
