yup, and make also some check if the default vmlinuz and initrd is the
same (among with other check..).
Also an option -r was implemented (currently only for lilo) when removing a
kernel to remove the entry and find a kernel to boot to link if the
default = /boot/vmlinuz (&is a link to the old removed kernel).
I'm planning to use this only if we are in Beginner mode (getting this
variable via /etc/sysconfig/system).

noip option -d actually is not working (contrarly as the old
installkernel), since i think is rather unusefull, i can implement it
if you think is a good idea..

Yup now it should be fixed, i better have to hunt the birds the
weekends rather than working :p
PS: And debug in lilo was activated so it was pretty much useless :p
