|From: Marcus Meissner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] |All other distros do the same as far as I know. |Care to give an example where this is not the case?
On our RHEL production systems we download the kernel and then install them via 'rpm -i <kernel>' Then it leaves both kernels bootable via grub. The new "one becomes default" but in case of problems the old system is only a reboot away. with a lot of different 3rd party raid-stuff and disk kontrollers. I would never have dared to update unless I know the old kernel/drivers are available. If you upgrade (-U) you replace the old kernel. I seem to recall this was a part of the RHCE exam. Disks today are so big that there are very few reasons to keep tiny /boot partitions so you can't manage several kernels around. -- MortenB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
