It's arguably incorrect on i686 with more than 3GB of RAM, where DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-PAE probably should be used. In any case it's incomplete because it omits important documentation of this choice. A comment should indicate which piece(s) look at the file: # This file is consulted by /usr/sbin/new-kernel-pkg # as part of installing a new Linux kernel. Also, the "ln -s" could be improved: # (cd /etc; ln -s ../boot/grub/grub.conf grub.conf) The path should be relative, and naming the last component redundantly as the last argument makes it clear that a new path /etc/grub.conf resolves to ../boot/grub.grub.conf. -- -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
