Re: Boot loader after upgrade
Here is the result of the first command: # yum list kernel Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Available Packages kernel.i686 2.6.35.13-91.fc14 updates So in that case I have just one kernel?!! - Original Message From: Kam Leo To: Community support for Fedora users Sent: Thu, June 2, 2011 10:34:25 PM Subject: Re: Boot loader after upgrade On Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 7:16 PM, Adam Tong wrote: > Hi, > > The thread is very old.

Re: Boot loader after upgrade
Hi, The thread is very old. The problem I posted was that I had Three choices instead of just 2 during startup. After upgrading from fedora 13 to 14 I found that I have fedora 14 and Fedora 13, in addition to other (i have a win partition).

If it were me, I'd simply suggest that the OP use their favorite non-GUI text editor and leave it at that unless they ask for suggestions. As I've mentioned other times, I also infest fedoraforum.org. I've seen posters go the extra mile by posting step-by-step instructions how to use vi to make an edit, just to be sure. Of course, that's on a website, where people can simply ignore the parts that don't interest them. Here on a mailing list, it's a tad less convenient, and I wouldn't expect it. (Hell, I didn't really expect it there, either.) -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

I don't want to start a holy war, but suggesting that a newcomer use vi without making sure they know how to use it can be a formula for disaster; it's not exactly new-user friendly. Adam, if you're not familiar with vi, consider using nano, as it's got all of the most common commands right at the bottom of the screen for you. (Hint: ^G is a very, very old computer shortcut for Ctrl-G.) That's not to say you shouldn't use vi if that's what you like, just that nano is easier to use if you've never seen either of them in use before. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Boot loader after upgrade
Hi, I upgraded my fedora 12 to 13 and then F13 to F14. I used the instructions for the desktop version in these two pages: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-from-fedora-12-to-fedora-13-desktop-and-server http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-from-fedora-13-to-fedora-14-desktop-and-server Which are basically the same for both upgrades. Now in the boot loader I have 3 choices: F14, F13 and Other which is windoze. I can boot from both F13 and F14, they work properly. F13 desktop is the same know as F14 but when I check the version in terminal (uname -a), I get F13. I'm not sure what I did wrong. Is there anyway to keep only F14 and get rid of F13?
