Ah, thanks. I think the correct fix is to change it in libvirt (I'll take a look). I dropped it from qemu (which I *thought* was done in 1.7) because they do not exist in debian. I don't feel too strongly about it, but think that reducing the number of legacy symlinks is the right way to go. thanks, -serge -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
