Re: [newbie] Grub added newer kernel version to it's list of selections

I haven't done this yet, and I'm running 7.0 so I'm not using grub.  If I 
understand the original question you have a new additional boot listing.  
This is a fail-safe.  If there is a configuration or other problem you still 
have access to your original, working, kernel.  That way you still have easy 
access to your system.  Once the new one is demonstrated dependable you can 
remove the "original" entry and delete the file from your system.

[newbie] Grub added newer kernel version to it's list of selections

[Romanator]

Hi,

After downloading a newer version of the kernel, I noticed that the
kernel version number was added to Grub. Although, the updater has
updated my kernel, is there a way of editing Grub to remove 2.2-16.9mdk?
Is there a reason for this, and is it really necessary?

Many thanks,

Roman
