:) What a wonderful development!

:( Too bad it's only for the 2.6-series kernels.

I run FC/1 with an optimized 2.4.22-1.2188.nptl kernel on all our servers and workstations (yes, and mine here at home), and I'd love to have this ability to reboot them into a new kernel. I'm not so sure about moving immediately to FC/2 when it's released in the near-future, and I'm particularly not ready to move to LVM2 (IIRC, that's a "must-do" with the 2.6 kernel).
