Ok, so that's why menu.lst looks the same. The time stamp was for the day I updated, so that means it has updated the kernel, right? The vmlinux file in /boot has date stamp of the day I installed etch, but the initrd.img file has the date stamp for the update. So everything is okay, right, and the security fix was nicely applied?
