It will install the kernel in the same directory, /boot, but it will have a unique name (vmlinuz-2.4.19-686). > > 2) will it add one more item inthe lilo for the new kernel and so that > In can select the older kernel at boot time, in case I want?

Grub will show many more possibilities if the kernels exist. > > 3) and will I be able to remove this new kerenl in case I want and still > have the older kernel on the system.

No (some self-compiled programs get the headers from kernel-headers or kernel-source, however). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
