Hey people, I am interested in knowing how yum manages to configure grub.conf after an install of a kernel package. A manual rpm kernel installation (rpm -ivh) will place the new kernel at the top of the grub.conf list but it will not change the 'default' setting to boot from this new kernel. A yum update of a kernel package (which is actually an install) manages to change the default setting to boot the new kernel. I like this behaviour and was wondering if someone could tell me how it is done. I want to know because I would also like to change the default grub entry title to a custom title and if I can hack yum to do it for me - it would save a perl one-liner later on ... Anyone willing to enlighten me? pantz -- Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes ... That way when you do criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes!
