How about just deprecating it? For example, we could make /usr/bin/qemu be a script with: #!/bin/bash echo "warning: $0 is deprecated, use qemu-system-i386 instead" exec qemu-system-i386 $@ > Changing this for merely cosmetic reasons [...] It's not just cosmetic. I recall you sent me some benchmarks (too bad they didn't make it to the list, and I somehow lost that mail), but they were done on i386 (which remains unaffected). On x86_64, results are different (specially if you have setup kqemu which only works with qemu-system-x86_64). -- Robert Millan My spam trap is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: this address is only intended for spam harvesters.
