heya, if you're going from one debian-supplied kernel to another, i don't imagine that you'll horribly break anything. worst case scenario, you can tell lilo to boot into linux.old and have your old system back. some stuff i'd hold onto is
- your current kernel's config options (/boot/config-2.4.19)
- the output of lsmod
- and a copy of /etc/modules and /etc/modules.conf just for kicks.
i think the first one is the most important. you can compare it
to whatever gets installed by the next kernel to find specific
differences.
