Kernel RPMs now auto-install to boot partition
Hi, Found some time to implement something that has been desired for a while: now when you install a kernel RPM on the XO, it will additionally auto-install to the boot partition, so now you can just install a new kernel RPM with rpm/yum and reboot and expect it to be used, no additional steps needed. The root of this strange behaviour (installing kernels twice) is due to the design of the update system, there might be room to improve on this in future as well, but at least this detail will now be less annoying to developers.

Does the installation occur only if the olpc-dev-kernel had previously been run? -Jon ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
