> How do I install more then one kernel?

"Install"ing a kernel is simply a matter of copying it to a place that
the bootloader can access it. There's nothing special about the
procedure. You probably even have more than one kernel already
installed. Do you have a /boot/kernel.old directory? If so, then you
(probably) have two kernels installed, and you can access the other one
from the boot menu, which you can in turn access by selecting the
appropriate item on the boot-up menu that displays the pretty and
optionally coloured rendition of Beastie.
