The last I looked at it, doing the symlink make the output of the mount command break some scripts. For instance, instead of having /dev/sda12 on / type ext3 (rw) it would give /dev/root / ext3 rw,... 0 0 /dev/root does not provide any useful information, especially since /dev/root does not exist in /dev. /dev/sda12 does tell me which partition is mounted as root. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
