However I don't want my kernels to be named that way. I
want:
/boot/linux-2.4.20jfg
/boot/linux-2.5.60tst
I don't like the softlinks in / and I get rid of them. My taste:
I just don't like anything extra at that level. I tend
to rm anything unessential in /.
I also have very customized standard lilo.conf's.
I've never used the install side for that reason. It just doesn't do
what I want it to do, or if it does, I am unaware of how
to make it do my thing and not its'.

Yes, it is. It just doesn't seem to do quite what I
want unfortuneately. I'd love it if it did.
