vmlinuz?
or
vmlinuz?
You can also use the package manager to rollback. RTFM.

How difficult is for you to grasp this?

because the symlink points to a versioned vmlinuz file and suddenly you know exactly which kernel will be booted. Even better, you can have douzends of kernels in /boot without any problems - if you want to boot a different one, just change the symlink. Wow, that is easy. And such a good thing to have.

yes, you can use a symlink... but explain to me why that is a better option?

*yawn* you don't have to update menu.lst/grub.conf if you do it right.
kernel with version + symlink. Works fine, is save. Arch can not do it? Made by idiots or broken? What is it?

@blackstar - i don't think i was in my right mind when i asked that question....
@energy man - that has nothing to do with versioning and everything to do with not having to update the grub menu.lst after every kernel install. there are quite a few distro's that do it that way actually.
