Remember, the first entry listed is 0, not 1. Yes, that's easy enough to edit. However, in RH9 and FC1 the new updated kernel always became the default. Why was this changed? up2date even suggests users to reboot if it sees a newer kernel is installed than the one that is running, but at the reboot the user has to select a kernel different from the default. How many users will think they have all the bugfixes in place but are actually still running with FC2's orriginal kernel? Is there a way to change the behaviour of up2date or rpm at kernel upgrades or a way to script detection of a new kernel and modification in grub.conf? David Jansen
