Sure, as long as the package has a different name, the modules will also be in a different location. Ie in your case you have 2.2.20, no problem to install 2.2.25, 2.4.25, 2.4.26, 2.4.27 and 2.6.8 next to it. Actually the recent kernel-images also have the subarch name included, so you could install the official 2.4.27-amiga, and build you own 2.4.27. No conflicts. Actually, that's what I use the shift keys in my zsh config for ;-) But i don't really boot that often, to make big use of it. If you need more versions of one kernel-version version, just set EXTRAVER in the kernel-source Makefile to a unique identifier. Christian
