>Why DID Kryton explode?

 Krypton exploded so that there could be only one survivor, Superman.
 Oh, and Supergirl and the Phantom Zone criminals and Krypto and the
 bottle city of Kandor and...

 Seriously, anyone have a list of all the survivors?  Are there more
 than those I've mentioned?

Actually, there were. Let's see, there was the prison ship full of Kryptonian
criminals, the scientist who believed Jor-El and put himself in suspended
animation and shot himself off into space just before the explosion 
(incidentally, he also had Supe's parents put into suspended animation and
launched into space where the still drift (should they ever be revived they'll
die from Kryptonite poisoning)), a Kryptonian criminal who used Supe's parents
to try and lure him into a trap, the fellow that introduced gold kryptonite,
etc.
   I can't give you a complete list of current survivors of Krypton but I can
give you one that will be valid once John Byrne takes over Superman.
   At that point there will be one survivor, and only one survivor, of Krypton
and his name is Kal-El.
