I would agree with that if it were the GM release _not_ the alpha/beta releases which people are trying to test. We should have a way to keep the old kernel _even in an upgrade_ when testing and as you pointed out YaST will always update. I can imagine how many people got stung by this one. Fortunately for me I use my laptop for testing and I only lost a couple of hours reverting back to the install kernel. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
