Hi,
Sorry to contradict you, but if someone does what you say, they will install
"all* the kernels and *all* the kernel-modules.
No, do *not* substitute "update" for "install", they mean two totally
different things.
I think you meant "Do not replace 'update' with 'install'...". That
is, "yum update" is the correct method.
I am a Japanese and I myself have some difficulties with the word
"substitute". But I understand "to substitute A" implies "to place the
word A in there", but not "to replace A". :)
No. "substitute" does mean remove the old thing and "replace" it with the
new one. However the order may be different, especially if (as they should
be) the preposition is different. I think proper grammar is
Substitute A for B
Replace B with A.
In both of these B is the old, removed item and A is the new, installed
item ...
I've had to think carefully written this; it must be confusing
for a non native speaker.
