On the system i snapshot i have --no-install-recommends as a flag in apt.conf.d, this is a spare computer i set up with no encryption and wanted to test refractasnapshot and installer as a backup option on the same computer but this time with encryption. So all i installed for that before the snapshot was cryptsetup and as is the case the install didnt bring in cryptsetup-initramfs due to --no-install-recommends.

The snapshot went ok and i proceeded to install on another computer, the installation went fine with refractainstaller gui and base ( i installed twice using both methods to be sure) until i tried booting and it went straight to initramfs prompt and couldnt find the luks encrypted device.

I know this is an edge case but it seems due to my error of not including cryptsetup-initramfs is the main problem in why the boot failed. Just thought maybe a little note could be used to prompt the user that cryptsetup-initramfs is not installed when using sys encryption options similar to grub-efi prompt in the refracta script both gui and cli?

Thanks
