I have 7 kernel images installed at this time. I have 5
symlinks in /; namely vmlinuz, vmlinuz.old, vmlinuz.stable,
vmlinuz.unstable, vmlinuz.last-resort. Two of these links are handled
automatically; and I seldom changed the other 3, even when I used
lilo.
I do not need these five links, though, since I now use grub.
Could you explain to me why you need more than two automanaged
links? What kind of changes you do need to make? It would help to
perhaps improve kernel-package if I could understand the motivation
and assess the need for a change in behaviour.
