If so, then disregard what I said as I'm just out-of-date. At
one
time ( when I was last using it ) you had to be careful or you'd
loose the old kernels.
It's configurable. If you have kernel* listed as install-only (the
default), then it will install even if you ask for an update. If you
change that such that kernel packages no longer match, then you'll get
them updated.
