Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I've upgraded the kernel version to the latest on my ubuntu but the menu.lst hasn't been modified so it still boots to the old kernel.
During the upgrade,
Quote:
A new version of /boot/grub/menu.lst is available, but the version installed currently has been locally modified.
1. install the package maintainer's version
2. keep the local version currently installed
3. show the differences between the versions
4. show a side-by-side difference between the versions
5. show a 3-way difference between available versions
6. do a 3-way merge between available versions (experimental)
7. start a new shell to examine the situation

2. keep the local version currently installed
was the default so I chose that. Was I supposed to choose 1,
Thanks. What are the commands to add the entry?
If using vi, can I just globally replace the old version number with the new?
The old is 2.6.24-20. The new is 2.6.24-24.

Rep:
Do not replace the old values with the new ones
ADD it as the last entry to the menu.lst
If you replace it it does not work you do not have a working system any more
My favourite for this kind of job is nano you might have to install first
If the new kernel it is on the same partition you can use the original entry as a example .
Although it is some what strange that it is not installed automaticly
Standard Ubuntu keeps to versions of the kernel
