I'll have to wait until I boot up again to try this. Right now I have |
| 12 |
one booted off a recent minimal cd andt the other off the amd64-livedvd |
| 13 |
that was produced earlier this fall.... |

using my old buddy "find" on the minimal cd I found this |
| 20 |
/usr/src/linux/vmlinux |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
and |
| 23 |
/mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux-3.13.6-gentoo/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
vmlinux.bin and vmlinux.bin.gz (hopefully no typos). |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
On the lived dvd I found these with find: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
./mnt/livecd/usr/src/linux-3.15.6-aufs-r1/arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux |
| 30 |
./mnt/livecd/usr/src/linux-3.15.6-aufs-r1/vmlinux |
| 31 |
./usr/src/linux-3.15.6-aufs-r1/arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux |
| 32 |
./usr/src/linux-3.15.6-aufs-r1/vmlinux |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
(a pair of symlinks) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
On neither is found an image or iso* in /boot or such..... |
| 37 |
I guess the minimalcd and the livedvd use differnet semantics |
| 38 |
for including the kernel and where it is written on the media. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Additionally, on the livedvd (last fall, amd64) the /boot/grub/menu.lst |
| 41 |
when Irun "file menu.lst" tells me that: |
| 42 |
"menu.lst" is a broken symbolic link to 'grub.conf' |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
curious... |
