Package: live-initramfs
Severity: normal
Hi,
the init script does not take noprompt into account when running from
a USB flash drive: it still asks the user to remove the flash drive
before halting/rebooting.
(OT: this is especially annoying when using splashy, as the prompt is
hidden behind the splash screen and the user waits forever; I guess
I should try usplash, but well...)
The attached patch against current Git changes this behavior to what
should, IMHO, happen. I also updated the documentation.
