From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

read them and you will see that only ones mentions initrd at all.
I read them before writing my OP. I'm still not sure what you're getting at.
I would be grateful if you could say what you mean, instead of initiating an oblique guessing game.
i don't understand the hostility.
i asked a question about needing yubikey software in a ramdisk image to enable decryption at boot time and most of the sources you provided don't mention it at all.
It's not mentioned because it's not required, yubikeys in general mostly leverage pre-existing "smartcard" facilities
Bystander observation: you were asked to clarify but essentially refused in a way that took more effort than simply doing so.
Oic. They didn't understand that I was asking a question and thought that I was addressing one of their links
Thanks for helping clarify.
