How to keep 2 kernels installed on slackware current using slackpkg
by ganjaplanet from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BYA8)
Hey!
I am running slackware-current, kernel-generic-5.4.84
I want to install the new kernel-generic-5.10.1 but after previous lockup during boot, i want to keep my 5.4.84 installed as well. As i'm using slackpkg to install/remove packages, what is the correct way to force it to NOT upgrade kernrl-related packages but offer them for installation? Now i am not even able to run `slackpkg install kernel-generic-5.10.1` as it is a candidate for upgrade. It is simply not show in the list
Cheers
