Simon,
I believe you can backup /lib/modules/(kernel version)
but also backup /usr/src/linux-(kernel version)
The reason you don't have to change the kernel is because you installed
these as loadable modules?
they don't need hard code kernel changes, but this I'm not too sure about,
I'm still a newbie at this too.

Jon and James,
Thanks for the tips.
I spent a fair portion of the weekend repartitioning and reinstalling Red
Hat.
Thanks for the tips about partitions. I have separated my / and /home so
that at least I shouldn't lose any personal data or setups if there is a
next time. I'm not sure I should mention it here but I have Windoze on
another partition but have split more to Linux this time now that I've
started to use it and appreciate it's stability (but not mine!).
One more basic question...when setting up PCMCIA support (so that I can boot
without hanging) using Make config, make all and make install. Is this
compiling it into the kernel?
If so, why didn't I have to copy that new kernel into my /boot and or update
LILO?
Or, does it install some config files somewhere and where would you
recommend looking for them /etc somewhere?
I ask so I can backup more of my essential services like that and my
Linmodem support.
