I think we shouldn't have a link at all, ideally a distribution's package installer will create the links which work with the distribution's bootloader configuration/setup. Also all the ln -s solutions fail if you build twice, you'd need at least ln -fs. If we must have a link, then I think it should be created as part of install.sh since that at least is less likely to get run when building packages. christian ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
