Hi, Yesterday I had an interesting conversation with someone on the #debian IRC channel re: compiling a custom kernel. He urged me to add the following lines to my /etc/lilo.conf file:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17 label=prev2217 ... and make sure I could boot the system from this choice. It worked fine. Now I am slogging through the documentation on kernel-package, prepping to compile 2.4.8. To make matters short, I guess I'd like to know: given this [working] addition to /etc/lilo.conf, should I be relatively safe to go ahead and futz? Of course I'll keep reading and prep best I can, but experience tells me I usually flub *something* and I'd like to make sure I can get back to trusty my 2.2.17 before going much further.
