yeah, the other thing that would be good, is for mandrakeupdate to detect if
the newer kernel is installed "AS WELL AS" the older one... since it has
been recommended by many to install not upgrade the kernel.

if it looked for the newer kernel as well as the older one, it could remove
it from the list...

I installed the newer 2.2.19-4 kernel ages ago and mandrake update still
tells me it needs to be upgraded..

uname indicates I am definately running the newer one...

just annoying since I usually just tick everything that it suggests to
update and let it go, but if I accidently tick the kernel, it pops up the
error message that its already installed and stops... (I do alot of updates
unattended,, so I don't find out till later that it didn't finish updating
everything...)


just a thought..

Subject: Re: [expert] GRUB will not install


Try this:

grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map --batch <<EOF
install (hd0,4)/grub/stage1 d (hd0) (hd0,4)/grub/stage2 p
                         (hd0,4)/grub/menu.lst
quit
EOF

where the 4 in hd0,4 indicates the partition which has the /boot direcotry,
counting from 0, not 1 like fdisk does.

Ps. Line "install" and following line "(hd0,4...)" are just 1 line. Ignore
extra spaces I put in there.
