Kernel Installation Bug

[Matthew S-H]

Okay.  That makes a bit more sense.
But out of curiosity, if I wanted to comment out some line so that not 
even update-grub could utilize it, would I be able to do it?

For example, I usually keep commented lines of things I find 
interesting but don't want to currently implement in .profile, fstab, 
etc.
