There sure is! How's your forth? Honestly, it's an extremely simple, yet powerful language=2E All the old Macintoshes used it (think BIOS)=2E You could then simply add as many kernel entries as you felt you needed=2E OTOH You could simply break to the boot loader, and pick any kernel you wanted=2E :-) All of this also assumes you're manually making copies of the kernel(s) your interested in saving=2E As a default install kernel only backs up the previous one -- but you already knew that=2E :-) HTH --Chris
