Fellow Debianistas, Why does Debian drop symlinks to vmlinuz and initrd.gz into the root directory? The FHS does allow it (after all), but it's butt-ugly, if you ask me. Can we please use the upcoming release to clean this issue up? It would require the following, I think: - change the template default in rootskel. - change the bootloaders to look for /boot/vmlinuz instead of /vmlinuz. - give the bootloaders the ability to detect a missing symlink in / and create it after asking the user, or just creating it and warning about the deprecated feature, asking for an update of the configuration files. What do you think? -- Please do not CC me when replying to lists; I read them! .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, and user `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
