You're quite right Troy. It's not as simple as what I put forth. I
hadn't appreciated how many "kernel\*"s there were! My point was that
using "update" leaves you with only the testing kernel and removes your
present working one. If the testing kernel works out okay then all is
well. If not you are in a bit of a fix. The conflict is the kernel\*
versus a specific kernel and its support pieces, not the "update" versus
"install". As for me, I got lucky.
Cheers,
Bob Blair
