I am confused by this and the
other explainations.
To be clear - I am only concerned
about the vmlinuz symlink. I know
package management works.
When I installed bigmen, it swung
vmlinuz to the newly installed
kernel, just as every other kernel
install/update I've done has.
So what happens if the normal
kernel package is updated. I fear the
update would swing vmlinuz to
the latest version of the normal
kernel. If this is not going
to happen, what rule would prevent it?
