Feature request: when you install a kernel, /vmlinuz is changed
to /vmlinuz.old, and the new kernel -> /vmlinuz. Similar
for System.map. So I set up a LILO entry called previous.
Any chance that upon removing a kernel-package generated
kernel package, things could be changed back? Since no history
is available except the previous I would assume that would
mean both the current and previous (/vmlinuz and /vmlinuz.old)
would now point to the previous version.
