I REALLY recommend kernel-package. It allows you to build your kernel as a regular user, and create a .deb package out of it. Then you can install it as root on your machine and any others like it that you might be administering. After installing it, cd to /usr/share/doc/kernel-package and zcat README.gz | more. The quick-and-dirty usage instructions will be near the top of the document for easy reference. Also, if you use the default lilo.conf, there will be an optional entry for Linux.old, which will point to the most recently replaced kernel (although I'm not sure about it's associated modules). -- Did you know that if you play a Windows 2000 cd backwards, you will hear the voice of Satan? That's nothing! If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
