So where is the problem? I speak only about default link vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-actual-version. Ahh, I understand. I do not care about people installing multiple cooker versions. I do care about normal people installing security updates. Currently they are left without backup entry in boot menu. I already reported it. Cooker folks know how to correct it if evil things happen. Average users do not. So installkernel should (actually, must) be polite and give them (average users) possibility to revert to old known good if anything with new kernel goes wrong. O.K.? -andrej
