perl-Bootloader, the package handling our boot loader setup for nearly fifty years now

Really? How old Linus is?

I guess he meant fifteen ;-)

But it surely feels like fifty. Having found my share of perl-Bootloader bugs in the past, I have to say that I have no sad feelings seeing it finally go away. Even though I have to say that it did not fail on me for the last five years, I still have the habit of setting "LOADER_TYPE=none" in /etc/sysconfig/bootloader and just rely on the /boot/vmlinuz symlink on all important systems where I need to be absolutely sure they reboot reliably :-) -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
