Package: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686
Version: 2.6.24-4
Severity: wishlist

Using syslinux (e.g. on an usb stick) /boot is usually some vfat file
system. Since it doesn't support symlinks to create vmlinuz and initrd.img,
it might be more reasonable to do a copy or a rename on this filesystem.


Many thanx

You should be able to force a copy by putting:

    no_symlinks = 1

in /etc/kernel-img.conf.  (This used to be documented by kernel-package,
but isn't any more due to divergence between kernel-package and the
official kernel packages.  *sigh*)
