I've recently installed 2.4.18 and 2.4.16-SMP kernels on two machines using the prepackaged kernels. Easy. Very nice.
I'm in the process of learning to compile my own kernels, and since I do everything the Debian way, i'll be a kpkg guy and build .debs of my custom kernels, which will install in identical fashion, as the prepackaged kernels. That said, as near as I can tell from looking in /boot, when one installe a kernel in this fashion, everything is still there from the previous kernel except the symlink from vmlinuz to the kernel or initrd image, so . . . Is it possible to have multiple LILO entries to boot different kernels off of the same /boot partition? And as a followup, what's the difference between booting a kernel, and booting an initrd image? Why have the prepackaged kernels moved to initrd? Why would I want to build my custom kernels to boot as initrd images? Why wouldn't I? TIA as this inquiring mind wants to know . . . madmac -- Doug MacFarlane [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
