Can you see your kernel?

I'm getting back into this (Linux) after being away from it for a few years which is why my memory is a tad spotty. A few years back, I once walked someone through a kernel config over IRC. Anyway, one thing I do recall is that you should make sure you keep your old kernel available and set it up as a boot option on LILO or GRUB or whatever you are using. This way, should something go wrong, you can still get into your system.

I'm sure there is more on this in this forum. Otherwise, Google for a Kernel HOWTO or look for it on the Linux Documentation Project (LDP) website.

Once you've gotten a backup kernel working, you can then work on customizing your new kernel without having to worry about hosing your system.


Good luck,

Joe

yep that's the same for me
Me, my spots and my 386! lol Red hat 4.2 I think

I wante dto come to linux for a long time, but was not able due to TV-card etc...
But now, on my laptop, I definetely want it. It will take time to get used to it but once I'll master it, I do not leave it!

And regarding the kernel, i already screwed up once... But thanks to the boot disk, I manage to get things working again!

cheers,
