While you _can_ certainly use the LDP HOWTO instructions for building a new kernel (and I may sure most debian users including myself have done so), using the debian kernel package's make-kpkg should be strongly encouraged.
An additional 'nice' feature of the process is that after you run the dpkg -i on your new package you have a vmlinuz and a vmlinuz.old pointing to your new and old kernels respectively. It is then a simple matter to edit /etc/lilo.conf (as you point out) but I would suggest using "last" for the previous kernel and make "linux" or whatever the new kernel and the default. The advantage to this, I think is that if the kernel works as you desire then there is no action required and at some future date when you want to try another new kernel, you (new) old one will be available for "recovery" automatically just be running lilo. best, -bill ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
