It handles kernels correctly. It installs the new kernels, leaving the old ones and updated grub.conf and/or lilo.conf correctly - using the same routines that up2date uses to do both of those. - the exact same routines - I stole them :) In the event that you're using it on a system not using grub nor lilo it will exit and just put the kernel rpm in place, not updating more things, it is more the capable of being extended to include non-x86 bootloaders, etc (ie: yaboot, aboot etc) =20 > Also I downloaded the srpm last night and when I try to unpack it rpm > segfaults.
