Eric, Now that Urpmi is IMHO perfected not so true. The installer is now intelligent enough to know to install kernels. But it must be done seperate from all other updates. The reason is strictly due to a requirement put in by MDK so that there is minimal chance of oops. I actually do kernel upgrades this way. urpmi --update kernel (the update switch can be skipped but it makes sure I get the MDK kernel not one from club etc.) So far on about 6 boxes (9.0 and 9.1) with 5 of them done remotely not one has burped on me.
