Unless changed with the -N flag it provides. : --- Giorgos Keramidas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: : There might be utilities left that use /kernel, instead of the currently : used /boot/kernel/kernel, to find the kernel. This means that before the : manpage is changed, the appropriate source files need to be checked, to : make sure that the manpage reflects what really happens in the programs : themselves. We don't want to blindly substitute /boot/kernel/kernel for : all the instances of /kernel, and make the manpages inconsistent with the : source, right? According to me, the utility shouldn't be using a hardcoded path to the booting kernel, as this would affect kernels which were made by: makeoptions KERNEL=foo #Build kernel "foo" and install "/foo" What are your suggestions? In any case, I will take the precautions which Giorgos has put in place, and will produce the patches accordingly. :) Thanks, -- Hiten Pandya __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
