    According to most documentation, kernel packages should be installed
    using -rpm -ivh;
    however, there are multiple packages starting with kernel that up2date
    obviously uses the rpm -Uhv.

    How do I know which packages should use -i and which should use -U

    for example
    kernel-2.4.....
    kernel-smp.....
    have multiple versions installed whereas
    kernel-source....
    kernel-doc.....
    kernel-utils....
    have only one version.

    How does up2date determine when to use update as opposed to install?
