The DrakX code try to get the current kernel with /boot/vmlinuz, if
kernel-linus is installed after kernel-classic the guys will reboot
with the kernel-linus which it's bad by default.

A distributions shouldn't call program from /usr/local/bin, when it's

after install yes, maybe if pixel set-up a global variable
DRAKX_INSTALL=true and in %post i do the symlinks in case is not true.

can point entry on /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz don't need to
regenerate a boot.b and even if the symlink is wrong continue to boot
on other entry.
