+Subject: [PATCH] [populate-initrd] Try to find inst more aggressively
+
+We've been using the inst function provided by mkinitrd
+to install plymouth and its dependencies into the initrd
+root, but mkinitrd may not be installed in a dracut world,
+and dracut has its own inst function.
+
+This commit tries getting access to either of them, before
+bailing. At some point we may want to bundle our own inst
+function or get a new flag added to /usr/bin/install to do
+what inst does.
