Hi,.

Is there no mechanism through the Manager for identifying correctly the
sequence in which updates should be installed?

I installed a clean 013 system today and thought that I would bring it right
up to date with all amended packages! The packages are listed in alphabetic
order and so that is the order I chose! All went OK until I tried to update
CoreUtils, which required GLibc! The installation of GLibc seemed to go OK,
but when the CoreUtils installation recommenced I got a series of messages
saying KERNEL TOO OLD and now it wont boot!

Booting gives the same message during INIT

I notice that there is a Linux update in the list! Should this be installed
first? and if so does it need any rerequisites and how does a user determine
from the list which ones to install first?

How have others solved this or doesnt anyone bother updating?

I now need to reinstall again from the LiveCD, but before I do so I
wouldlike to know how to update it!
