Being lazy myself, I have a feature request on behalf of all the (lazy) loadlin users. Would it be possible to have the newly created kernel-image package offer the option of copying the kernel to the place loadlin expects it in your setup? I would figure that kernel-package_...deb could ask if there is a standard `loadlin-kernel-directory', and store that in its configuration files. Of course it should rename old kernels using some intelligent renaming scheme (vmlinuz.1, vmlinuz.2, ...). Eric -- E.L.
