says who?

* as i faced the first unbootable system after a kernel update it was Fedora Core 3
* i had no big Fedora expierience at this time
* i did not need assistance of someone more capable of admin work

* because doing nothing the next boot-step after that menu failed
* so what did i: look waht happens if i chosse something other from the menu
