Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2004 01:27:15 +0100 User-Agent: KMail/1.7.1 Cc: LKML MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200411160127.15471.blaisorblade_spam@yahoo.it> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 693 Lines: 18 This line, in the main Makefile, is commented: export INSTALL_PATH=/boot Why? It seems pointless, since almost everything has been for ages requiring this settings, and distros' versions of installkernel have been taking an empty INSTALL_PATH as meaning /boot for ages (for instance Mandrake). It's maybe even mandated by the FHS (dunno). Is there any reason I'm missing? -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
