James,
I'm not advocating changing the behaviour of the build_initramfs script.
The script itself allows you to copy the PXE kernel to any location you
want: it asks for the "Location of TFTP directory". And the script
faithfully copies the PXE kernel to the location you specify (or
defaults to /tftpboot/lts).
However, regardless of where the PXE kernel is copied, the script
_output_ always says "Copying the PXE kernel to /tftpboot/lts". At best,
it is confusing; at worst, it won't alert the user that the PXE kernel
is being copied incorrectly.
My change just makes the script report what it's actually doing. I'm
changing an echo statement, not any script logic.
