I'd like kernel-package to automatically add a stanza to my menu.lst for a
new kernel such as...
title Linux 2.4.0-test8
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0-test8 root=/dev/hda2
boot
...for the kernel I'm using right now.
If it was smart enough to remove it afterword, that would be even cooler.
Also, for grub is is much better to put vmlinuz symlinks in /boot which
kernel-package only does if you force it to at the moment.
