Thanks for the suggestion. Will that "do the right thing" and leave me with a bootable system, or will I need to do some specal recovery from a live-image afterwards? Will it overwrite the old kernel? Alternately, does it do like Grub on fedora where you can still boot into the old kernel in case there's a problem with the new? Also, are there other packages that need upgrade? syslinux-4.00-3.5.i586 syslinux-extlinux-4.00-3.5.i586 are in http://download.meego.com/live/devel:/base/Trunk/i586/ whereas I've got syslinux-4.00-1.9.i586 syslinux-extlinux-4.00-1.9.i586 installed. Should those be upgraded at the same time the new kernel is installed? Looks like this might be the answer I was looking for in See http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/meego-dev/2011-April/482503.html , where I asked "Does installing http://download.meego.com/live/devel:/kernel/Trunk/i586/kernel-2.6.37.2-256.2.i586.rpm via zypper actually do all the right stuff w/r/t updating the boot information for the new kernel? I also skipped updating syslinux-extlinux (& syslinux dependency) as it messes with /boot ...If I want to avoid a reinstall, what's the right way to upgrade a "live" meego system to the latest "trunk" kernel?" What happens if installing this "kernel-adaptation-pinetrail" kernel on the this now almost 1.2 "trunk" netbook -- will I still be able to run the existing netbook UX?
