When the yum update applet reports that new updates are available, I always choose to accept them without checking in advance whether or not they will render my computer unusable. Also if I did decide to check if the update would break my system, it currently is not possible to tell pup to ignore this particular update. A try-catch mechanism could provide a fallback solution to kernels. Kernels could be marked as bootable, not_checked and non_bootable, and grub could check this flag/status file and switch to the first bootable kernel if the default is marked as non_bootable. Perhaps a feature like this is already available in grub? -- Trond Danielsen -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
