I've been downloading the new kernel versions as they come
out for my version of Fedora Core 2. They seem to load
fine, how do I change my boot loader (GRUB I think) so that
it loads the latest kernel version by default? As at the
moment it loads the kernel version that came on the DVD and
I have to manually select the newer version(s) if I want to
load them.
I would just copy the existing section with the old kernel and
replace things which have changed
[root@rubikon ~]$ cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this

#boot=/dev/hda
