there is not a way to do that currently.  a loooooooong time ago someone
asked for a "newkerneldefault" option in the conf file and I think I
just forgot about it.

You just reminded me.

the thing that makes the new kernel the default is handled in lilocfg.py
and grubcfg.py - the grub one is bleeding obvious and simple to case
around.

i'll need to spelunk through the lilo one to figure out how to add the
kernel but not make it a default.

out of curiosity is there anyone out there still USING lilo?

grubby is sooooooooooooo nice :)
