+Build the dracut:

+Now you have two choices. If you want, that the challenges are updated every boot, go on. else stop here.
+
+### change challenges on boot
+
+To change the challenges every boot it takes too long to generate whole new initramfs. So we load an additional initram with the bootloader.
+
+Build the cpio archive with the challenges:
+
+> ykfde-cpio
+
+Setup your bootloader with the the additional initram '/boot/ykfde-challenges.img'
+
+#### Setup GRUB2
+
+For ex. change /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
+
+ initrd /initramfs-3.10.0-123.13.2.el7.x86_64.img
+
+to
+
+ initrd /initramfs-3.10.0-123.13.2.el7.x86_64.img /ykfde-challenges.img

+ initrdefi /initramfs-3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64.img /ykfde-challenges.img
+
+### enable service
+
+Enable `systemd` service `ykfde-cpio.service`. it generate every boot a new challenge and updates the initram `ykfde-challenges.img` and the LUKS passphrase.
+
+*Be carefully:* Do not enable if you haven't setup the bootloader with the ykfde-challenges.img. If you do, you have to rebuild with dracut manually every time the service is executed.
+
-Additionally enable `systemd` service `ykfde-cpio.service` and make your
-bootloader load the new `cpio` image `/boot/ykfde-challenges.img` (in
-addition to your usual initramfs).
Reboot and have fun!
