It seems that YaST and zypper would replace the currently-installed
kernel with a new one whenever an update is available.

While I've had no problems with the updates I've tried so far
(2.6.18.8-0.3 and -0.5), I could see this becoming a potential
problem, if users were to install a broken kernel.

In some other distributions (e.g. Fedora, and I think Debian and
Ubuntu as well) the currently-booting kernel is retained as well; in
that way the user is never left with an unbootable kernel (and,
presumably, one that gives them network connectivity as well).

I've not tried any recent Factory build, so this point might be moot,
in case, apologies for the redundant query.

Best regards,
