Re: init and agetty packages available for review/upload.

IIRC, the old style symlink wouldn't work with a .exe extention.

Earnie.

What are the symlink problems? Do you mean a symlink points to the
executable name without .exe suffix?


Yes.  But I was confused.  I didn't remember (or maybe didn't know) that
a symlink didn't have to contain a .exe when it was linking to a .exe.

I think that's arguably a bug but it's probably entrenched enough now to
be considered a feature.

So, nevermind and sorry for the confusion.
