I note:

* scripts/rescue/install.sh (1.17): Put symlinks to kernel back in
"/", rather than in "/boot".
2000-03-23 21:43 karlheg
* utilities/dbootstrap/bootconfig.c (1.48): * bootconfig.c
(BC_LILOTEMPLATE): Look for images in "/" rather than in "/boot"
again.
Karl, you have *really* high confidence that a change this fundamental
hasn't broken other stuff?
I guess it looks safe enought but this is normally the kinda stuff
(cosmetic) which I don't want to do so close to 2.2.9 release.
