Hm, I just tried it on my Fedora Core 1 (yum-2.0.4-2) system, maybe it's different for the yum being packaged for Fedora Legacy. I'm using grub, and ran yum update which installed kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl as the first entry in the grub.conf, but also incremented the default so that my old kernel would still boot. IMO, this is a sane way to handle the update, and if the yum being packaged for Fedora Legacy doesn't behave the same way, it should be changed to. -Dave
