Hi!

Another kernel compile question.
It seems that one may compile a kernel while still running KDE or some other desktop as long as one gets out of the desktop and back to a terminal before doing


make modules_install
and moving the new kernel image to /boot

since the old kernel is still loaded and running until rebooting.
Any remarks as to this being a Bad Thing?

You don't have to get out of anything to build & install a kernel. Nothing that you're doing in building or installing the kernel is relevant until you reboot.
