Well, trust me, I was not very pleased with the results of my queries. Of course, I don't have the time or skills to fix the installkernel script myself. If someone out there is feeling bored... =) > You're right though Vincent - it's been doing it over a number of > releases. You'll find a few posts from me in the archives on it. Yup. And it's always been a nuisance. In my mind, the revisioned entry should be in there from the first install... do the symlink bit, but throw in a 2421-13 entry as well (or whatever). But, when I mentioned that, I was told it looked too ugly.
