Subject: [PATCH 4/7] init: Delete initramfs files before chrooting into the
|
|
appliance.
|
|
|
|
After supermin has finished running, the initramfs files sit around
|
|
occupying non-swappable memory but serving no further purpose.
|
|
|
|
This saves a little memory, at the cost of about 1ms of extra boot
|
|
time.
