In FC3 the new kernel stanza is written as the first entry and pushes the others down. The default is not changed from 0 so it automatically selects the new one to boot. I believe that FC2 also wrote the new one as the first entry in grub.conf, but it updated the default to point to the old entry and you had to manually select the new kernel until you updated grub.conf to have the new one as the default. > -- > Educational television should be absolutely forbidden.
