New kernel, should be the default

We can expect that new kernels are better (bug or security fix).

At that time, new installed kernel are not the default.

$ rpm -q --scripts kernel
...
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.6.8-1.603

Why ?

With FC3, grub show only the default kernel. If you don't take care, you
can boot with a old kernel (which have a security issue).

Editing /boog/grub/grub.conf should be require only if something goes
wrong.
