Hello Ne..,

I do have a 10 second delay I put in so that if I reboot from home and 
it's a heinous failure, I'll quickly drive in and manually override it 
upon reboot. The problem is weird, though.../boot/grub/grub.conf always 
has the default=0 after an upgrade, while /etc/grub.conf always flips back 
to default=1. I'd like to know how to make it so that default=0 always 
after a kernel upgrade.
