installing kernel packages with rpm

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



According to most documentation, kernel packages should be installed
using -rpm -ivh;
however, there are multiple packages starting with kernel that up2date
obviously uses the rpm -Uhv.

How do I know which packages should use -i and which should use -U

for example
kernel-2.4.....
kernel-smp.....
have multiple versions installed whereas
kernel-source....
kernel-doc.....
kernel-utils....
have only one version.

How does up2date determine when to use update as opposed to install?
