This was nice as it moved my existing kernel to .old, but that made me wonder: Say I rebuild my kernel after it's installed I decided I want to change a kernel setting. If I go through the same procedure to build the kernel again will the existing kernel get replaced again? That is, say I started out with just one kernel 2.2.20. I build a new 2.4.17 kernel and ran make-kpkg and dpkg -i. So now vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17 vmlinuz.old -> boot/vmlinuz-2.2.20-idepci Now, if I want to rebuild 2.4.17 with some option I forget when I first compiled it, can I use make-kpkg and dpkg -i, but only replace the boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17 version and leave 2.2.20 where it is (as my .old version?) Or will it end up like vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17 vmlinuz.old -> boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17 (If curious, what I forgot was APM support to power-down my machine on halt -- that was working on 2.2.20.)
