13 I still copy mine manually.  That way I can name it to anything I want
14 and even version them in a way that I know which is which.  Automatic
15 tools may be nice in some ways but I've gotten used to doing it
16 manually.  The biggest thing, knowing what I'm booting by looking at the
17 grub boot menu.

19 If after I've booted I need to be sure which one I booted, then cat
20 /proc/cmdline will give me that.

22 Still, things could change and I use that one day.  ;-)
