No, you can't. su root cp -pR /boot/kernel /boot/good Where does DEBUGDIR enter the picture? The above will copy both kernel and kernel.symbol to /boot/good. With your scheme one loses kernel.symbol (along with all other *.symbol files?). If one escapes to the boot prompt, she can do 'boot /boot/good/kernel', will the boot process automatically find a (nonexistant?) /usr/lib/boot/good/kernel.symbol. -- SteveReceived on Thu Oct 30 2014 - 01:34:33 UTC
