Fedora 24 kernel or kernel-pae?

2016-05-07 Thread P. Gueckel
On my laptop, I notice that the kernel that got installed from the Workstation live disc is kernel. I did an update and now I see that the very same numbered kernel, but the pae version, has now been installed. I just checked and, unlike previous releases, F24 ha no /etc/sysconfig/kernel file

Scriptlet Failure When Upgrading (F23)

2015-10-02 Thread P. Gueckel
I read somewhere that, when a scriptlet fails during upgrade, one need only turn off selinux, run the upgrade, and then turn selinux back on. Fine, but I won't know in advance that a scriptlet is going to fail and I'm not disabling selinux every time I upgrade some packages, just in case there

Get Latest Kernel To Boot By Default In F23

2015-10-02 Thread P. Gueckel
