Yes, it _does_ require manual override in kernel-img.conf to actually _use_ a future ramdisk tool satisfied by the virtual dependency. And it seems you even agree with me (what do you mean by "No"?). If you install a non-default syslog daemon or MTA, then the switch is taken care of by the packaging scripts. Same cannot be said if you install a non-default ramdisk tool: You also need to spell out in kernel-img.conf that you want to use your new tool. A workaround would be for the alternative tool to divert one of the existing paths but then multiple tools cannot be used on same system for different kernels (without manual editing). - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDeGrvn7DbMsAkQLgRAoq2AKCWoK5de7yao7w+fqH39d4C8OrHEwCfa4Tg 6Q0x6Pu393Gd3U+gtUT+6bU= =zuED -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
