I was just pointing out why deciding boot order between kernels may be  
unneeded, if keeping -generic and -lowlatency on the same machine, as they  
are more or less the same kernel.
Don't see how editing files manually, and installing legacy software makes  
things complicated compared to doing nothing at all.
