Hi, why not always make it a symlink, so updates to tzdata package are applied immediatly and don't require a reboot? Is it for scenario's where /usr is not available? Geert -- geert.hendrickx.be :: geert@hendrickx.be :: PGP: 0xC4BB9E9F This e-mail was composed using 100% recycled spam messages!

Yes. We have sort of given up on supporting booting with an unavailable /usr, but we don't want to break people's setups unnecessarily, so we'll keep the backwards compatibility for the time being. Cheers, Tom
