Not at all. If it _were_ like that, it wouldn't break. ">" follows symlinks and would be fine even with the read-only file perms for root.

The symlink target is read-only as another reminder that one should not edit it with an editor but only via the fragments in /etc/grub.d/ -- Fedora release 16 (Verne) - Linux 3.1.0-0.rc8.git0.1.fc16.x86_64 loadavg: 0.32 0.08 0.07 -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
