# This is a sample /etc/kernel-img.conf file # Set to Yes if you want the kernel image vmlinuz in /boot rather # than the default /. link_in_boot = NO # By default, the kernel image post installation script shall create or # update the /vmlinuz and /vmlinuz.old symbolic links. This is true if # a /vmlinuz link already exists, however, in absence of /vmlinuz, the # script looks to see if this configuration file exists. If it does # not, the configuration script asks the user whether to create the # symbolic link, and stashes the answer in a newly created # /etc/kernel-img.conf. If the configuration file already exists, and # if this option is set to No, no symbolic link is ever created. This # for people who have other means of booting their machines, and do not # like the symbolic links cluttering up their / directory. do_symlink = Yes # Whether to use symlinks to the image file. Mutually exclusive to # reverse_symlink. Can be used with link_in_boot. If set to Yes, the # image is placed in vmlinuz (instead of /boot/vmlinuz- X.X.XX). The # old vmlinuz is moved to vmlinuz.old unconditionally. (Normally, that # is only done if the version of the new image differs from the old # one). This restricts you to two images, unless you take additional # action and save copies of older images. This is for people who have # boot on a system that does not use symbolic links (and say, they use # loadlin as a boot loader). no_symlink = No # Whether to use reverse symlinks (that is, the real file is the one # without the version number, and the number version is the link) to # the image file. Mutually exclusive to no_symlink. Can be used with # link_in_boot. Just like no_symlink, except that the # /boot/vmlinuz-X.XX is a symbolic link to the real new image, # vmlinuz. This, too, restricts you to just two images unless further # action is taken. The older symlinks are left dangling. This is for # people with boot on umsdos, and who can't see the link in dos, but do # want to know the image version when in Linux. This is a Hack. reverse_symlink = NO # If you want the symbolic link (or image, if move_image is set) to be # stored elsewhere than / set this variable to the dir where you # want the symbolic link. Please note that this is not a Boolean # variable. This may be of help to loadlin users, who may set both # this and move_image. Defaults to /. This can be used in conjunction # with all above options except link_in_boot, which would not make # sense. (If both image_dest and link_in_boot are set, link_in_boot # overrides). image_dest = / # Instead of creating symbolic links to (or, if reverse_symlinks is # set, from) image_dest, the image is moved from its location in /boot # into image_dest. If reverse_symlinks is set, /boot shall contain a # symbolic link to the actual image. This option can be useful to # people using loadlin, who may need the image to be moved to a # different dos partition. #move_image = NO # If set, the preinst shall silently try to move /lib/modules/version # out of the way if it is the same version as the image being # installed. Use at your own risk. #clobber_modules = NO # If set to NO, this shortcircuits all attempts to create boot # floppies, run lilo, etc. This has the additional side effect that the # postinst is silent. Setting both do_bootfloppy and do_bootloader to # NO implies setting do_boot_enable to NO. do_boot_enable = Yes. # If set to NO, this prevents the postinst from asking questions about # creating a boot floppy, and no boot floppy is created. The bootloader # shall still be run. This may cut down on the interaction the # postinst has. (It still prompts before formatting /dev/fd0) do_bootfloppy = YES # If set to NO, this prevents the postinst from running the boot # loader. The user may still be asked to create a floppy, unless # do_bootfloppy is also set to NO. do_bootloader = YES # If set to yes, the kernel image postinst script shall go to # extraordinary lengths to ensure that the symbolic links are # relative. Normally, the symbolic links are relative when it # is easily determinable that relative links shall work. relative_links = NO
