This bug, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=135161 , is what ultimately created the file /etc/sysconfig/kernel. I asked for more information regarding the parameter values for UPGRADEDEFAULT and DEFAULTKERNEL. As you can see from the response one person thought I was spamming the bug. Touchy people! The values may be obvious, and from what has put forth, are few in number. They could have easily documented these values in the release notes or put it into a separate note in /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3/. __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape Internet Service.
