>Description:
I just used sysinst to update a i386 from 1.4.2 to 1.5_ALPHA2. It would be nice if the link
from /usr/X11R6/bin/X to Xwhatever_is_was_I_had_before was remembered. Doesn't have to be remade,
but at least recorded somewhere (like the way /etc is saved to /etc.old
>How-To-Repeat:
use sysinst, update, grumble when you have do dig out the manual to recall what X server
you used before....
>Fix:
write it down your self, or have sysinst save it somewhere. Also, the Xservers file
gets stomped on.
