I'm using grub, and debian puts in an entry for every installed kernel (actually you can specifiy a limit in the grub config file).

Yes - you can either specify the latest to be the default, or you can have it remember the last one booted, and automatically select that. -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. --Gandhi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
