I think the problem was the -devel package could be installed without a kernel package behind it making it awkward to install a symlink. Even if you just dropped the symlink on the floor, installing the kernel later would never re-create the symlink leaving things broken. IIRC, the dangling symlink was the lesser of two evils. Not that I care either way. Cheers, Don _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
