Re: Dselect reinstalls kernel



On a similar topic, I notice that if I do a --revision.1.0 and later a
--revision.2.0, that the --revision.1.0 still shows up as being installed.
Is there a way to remove it without causing problems with 2.0, since there
is only one /lib/modules/2.x.x directory?  I got arount this by cp'ing the
modules to a temporary name, but is there a better way (like getting dpkg
to remove the first when the second is installed?)
