I thought I did :-(

I'm just installing onto a jffs2 XO-1, no building, just an install, so I
did the basics: an install then the copy.  Did I miss something in the
install that left the old files around?  The instructions didn't seem to
specify an install command, so I used yum update kernel.  Should I try an
rpm command instead?

Thanks
