Please try it out and let me know what you think. This is a bug. /boot is not the only location kernel-image packages may put image files in. The kernel-image packages go to a great deal of trouble to correctly create /vmlinuz and /vmlinuz.old symbolic links (unless asked not to do so). Ignoring them means that my lilo.conf file shall need to be constantly updated every time I install a new kernel. I consider this a serious degradation of functionality. At the moment, if there is no lilo.conf, the kernel-image postinst creates a functioanl lilo.conf that takes into account symbolic links, the location of the iomage files (if it is not /boot, takes into account reverse symlinks, image in boot. and other options, and creates a working lilo.conf that can be added to by the user. It does not ever destroy a working lilo.conf file. I would expect lilo itself to do at least as good a job as the postinst of another package. manoj -- baz bat bamus batis bant.
