Hello everybody, I want to start off by thanking everyone who uses this list, especially those who answered any of my previously posted questions. I would like to compile another kernel, and be able to boot from it. I have pretty much no problem on the "how" of compiling the kernel. My question concerns the fact that I have a system that is currently in VERY good shape, with very few bugs/problems. I would like to keep my current kernel, as well as all of its dependencies/etc., seperate (and left where they are) from the new kernel. I would like to be able to choose from lilo to boot either kernel A or kernel B (I know how to add to LILO no prob); I would like it that, in the event that the new kernel seems to be incompatible/cause problems with/break some of my software, that I can just delete the kernel, map file, the deps, LILO entry etc. (for this, perhaps a log of which files were installed would be helpful... where would I find it/how would I make such a file during the compile/install process?) from my system, and then, because I kept all the files needed by my current kernel in their own seperate directory, I would be back in business with my current, stable kernel running my system again. Can someone please either point me to a decent doc that details the instructions of such an install, or post a response that includes a nice detailed description of how to do it? Thanks in advance, David Charles
