This is addressed in FC3 -- look at /etc/sysconfig/kernel.
I tried FC3, weeks ago -- and didn't like it. Iirc that tale of woe
was
here; anyway, I'm not about to try again for another year or two. And during that time I'll stick to FC2 -- if not go back to FC1. So what should I do with FC2??

OK, the first line not commented out says "default=2" Does that mean it will always be the second one down the list of however many, or something else? Can I simply change the 2 to a 1?

It means it will always be the third down the list of however many. The count starts at 0.

Aha. I couldn't tell whether it was a sneakin' hunch or a faint memory, but I had a distinct intimation of some sort of lurking gotcha there somewhere. So if I want FC2 to behave as I'm accustomed to things redhat doing, I should just change the 2 to a zero -- right? That's it?
