✨ NAME ✨

update-initramfs.conf 🎀 is the configuration file for update-initramfs. Bestie, this is your settings file for that tool!

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so this config file lets you turn off the update action from update-initramfs 🙈 like, you get to decide whether it runs at all. main character energy 💅

🌸 GENERAL VARIABLES 🌸

• update_initramfs — ngl this one has a few vibes. The default is yes, which runs the latest initramfs-tools hooks in the newest Linux image 🦋 Setting it to all updates any known initramfs 🔥 And if you set it to no, it's for remote servers or boxes where you need to be extra careful and conservative 🫶 That turns off the update_initramfs -u call, so it won't run.
• backup_initramfs — if you set this, update_initramfs keeps a .bak file of the previous initramfs 🧚 If you leave it unset, the backup initramfs doesn't get kept. no cap, it's that simple ✨
