Due to some root exploits I've read about I think I should install a newer kernel.
I have some questions:
1) What kernel should I install (a 2.4.24 stable kernel or a more risky 2.6.0)?
2) How does one install kernel image package in Debian? Do I have to move ny old modules directory away so they are not overwritten if the new kernel fails and I must boot the old one?
3) How does one install kernel from source in Debian? After it is compiled I should move the kernel image to /vmlinuz and copy over the System.map file to / ? I should run "lilo -v" before reboot?
4) What should I add to /etc/lilo.conf so it will let me select old or new kernel?
5) What is initrd and is it good to use?
6) How do I know what in the kernel config I should let the kernel load as modules and what should be compiled into the kernel image?
7) Is there a good kernel install/config guide that is tailored to Debian and addresses 2.4.24 or 2.6.0 kernel?
Regards! Zach
