kernel is skipped because it's listed in "/etc/urpmi/skip.list" by default. If you want to install the kernel, issue "urpmi kernel" as root and choose among the available kernels. If you've already setup an updates media then you must issue "urpmi --media updates kernel" instead. The chosen kernel will be installed (via rpm -i) and not upgrade (via rpm -U) existing one because kernel is also listed in /etc/urpmi/inst.list by default. > [6] You may choose which kernel you may want to install for your new system. > To check the available kernels, type this: > > # urpmi kernel- ... and press tab on your keyboard.

The post-install script of kernel package does boot loader detection, changes to config file and invoke lilo as it see fits so editing is not usually necessary. > > [9] Done. > > [10] Last tip: You need to make an executable script that contains: > > #!/bin/bash > urpmi.update updates && urpmi --media updates --auto-select Change that to urpmi.update updates && urpmi --media updates --auto --auto-select to make it non-interactive. :-) -- $_=q:; # SHERWIN # 70;72;69;6e;74;20; 27;4a;75;73;74;20; 61;6e;6f;74;68;65; 72;20;50;65;72;6c; 20;6e;6f;76;69;63; 65;27;:;;s=~?(..); ?=pack q$C$,hex$1; ;;;=egg;;;;eval;;; -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
