Dumb question: why does Debian like to have a symlink, /vmlinuz, pointing to the kernel image in /boot? Does some program depend on being able to find the kernel at /vmlinuz? Would something break if I simply deleted this symlink? I ask because I install kernels by hand, and I use a naming scheme for my kernels that tells me what they are and when they were built, e.g. vmlinuz-2.4.18-ac2-020226 is a 26 Feb 2002 build of 2.4.18-ac2. This means I have to go change the /vmlinuz symlink every time I install a new kernel, and I'm wondering if I can safely just delete the link and never bother with it again. Thanks, Craig
