+</I>Not so. The default uses the symlinks for vmlinuz and initrd which are
+version-independent, and the kernel install redefines them to point to
+the new kernel. The entry tacked on to the end uses the new versoins by
+name, and is there so that after the next new kernel comes along you'll
+have an entry to boot this one if you need to.
