if u use -Uvh, then if your new kernel installation is having problems, you will not be able to boot back to your previous kernel. using -U typically removes your old kernel files and install the new kernel files.will be installed even if the package is not install in the system using -F is almost identical to upgrading except when the package specified on the command line is not already installed on the system.the package will be ignored if not already installed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Earl C.
