It could, but: - it breaks the principle of least surprise (users expect it to modify grub.cfg only) - it opens the door for old module files lingering around if something goes wrong I think this would be worse than the current situation. > This way, no need to have module-specific location/handling > (installing /some/ modules in a different place and using symlinks > sounds cumbersome to me). Installing all modules in /boot hierrachy is an option too. Or implementing pivot_root and then using initrds. As for the symlinks, if you go this route next release of GRUB would probe the new location, making them unnecessary in mid-term. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
