Re: It makes no sense to link vmlinuz and initramfs to the root directory

In early Unix, boot and vmunix were both stored in the root directory as programs, and boot was used to start vmunix. Debian inherited this for compatibility, but the situation has changed a lot. Today, boot is stored in the root directory as a directory, which already contains the kernel files vmlinuz and initramfs. Therefore, it makes no sense to link vmlinuz and initamfs to the root directory, so the best way is to remove them from the root directory.

You may alter /etc/kernel-img.conf however you wish.
