Will this apply to /boot/grub.conf as well after the updated kernel is 
installed (remove .legacy from kernel entry) ?
I have both rh72 with lilo and a rh8 server using the grub bootloader.
In the past when I  downloaded and updated a kernel manually it was rpm 
-ivh kernel-2.4.20-*. This way the previous kernel is still available as 
backup , would a rpm -Fvh overwrite the kernel-2.4.20-28.7.
