Is there a way to install a new kernel without having it overwrite kernel.old and /modules.old with the existing kernel and /modules? For example, I am in the process of experimenting with new kernels and I am doing a lot of kernel compiles and installs. I have a good kernel.old, but every time I compile and install a new experimental kernel, it overwrites my good kernel.old with the previous new kernel image I previously compiled and installed (does that make sense?) I'd like a static kernel.old and modules.old that I know is good that I can boot from regardless of how many kernels I have compiled and installed. Thanks, James Schmidt
