The RPMs do all the heavy lifting of setting up grub.conf, making the intird, etc. Of course, RH in their benevolence assumes that you would like the new kernel to be the one you just installed so if you want to rearrange this, just go into grub.conf and edit away. Note that grub will scan /boot on the next reboot and list every boot image it finds, so you don't have to really go in and monkey with it if you don't want to. > While I am thinking about it and not reading the docs :O is there a grub > equivilent to lilo -R kernelname that will reboot kernelname the next > time only regardless of the default? Can be done from the keyboard when the boot listing comes up on the next boot. Otherwise, just go into grub.conf and change the "default" line. jb -- Jack Bowling mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
