Does this not also add the system.map file & a couple of others to / |
| 23 |
boot ? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I think I tried this &/or genkernel & when I looked at /boot I found |
| 26 |
they'd littered the place with clutter. |

I hope you won't be offended, but the amount of junk files this added |
| 29 |
made me want to barf. |

I have avoided any such "complications" since, considering I don't |
| 32 |
consider copying a file & editing grub.conf to be anything of a |
| 33 |
complication myself. |

To guard against unbootable kernels I have a bzImage.old which is set |
| 36 |
as fallback. To guard against human error when editing grub.conf the |
| 37 |
bzImage.old is the first (0th?) entry in the list, and finally - lest |
| 38 |
things go really pyriform - I have a KVM-IP. |
