The open or a different question is how to display this state ot the opportinities to the user at the grub screen. Here the help of usebility experts might be the most promising approach.
I believe that simply it adds an entry to the menu with the kernel name and version, probably sorted by age. This is done by a script in the kernel rpm.
This is _currently_ all done with the help of the script hooks (preinstall,postinstall,preuninstall,postuninstall) of the kernel RPM.
The question I had in mind was: How to make the install of several kernels _useable_.
I don't understand, there is no problem. When you boot, you will see a menu like (invented numbers): title openSUSE 11.1 - 2.6.27.4-2 title openSUSE 11.1 - 2.6.27.4-1 title openSUSE 11.1 - 2.6.27.3-5 What's the problem with that? Because that's the way it is handled, AFAIK. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
