I'm lazy. I have 2 scripts sitting in /usr/src which I run from /usr/src/linux. After running "make menuconfig" or "make oldconfig" I run ../makeover which goes like so... #!/bin/bash make && \ make modules_install && \ cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-experimental && \ cp System.map /boot/System.map-experimental && \ cp .config /boot/config-experimental && \ lilo Once an experimental kernel has been running OK for a couple of weeks, I promote it to production with the script ../promote #!/bin/bash cp /boot/System.map-experimental /boot/System.map-production cp /boot/config-experimental /boot/config-production cp /boot/kernel-experimental /boot/kernel-production lilo My lilo boot menu has 2 boot choices, "Production" and "Experimental". > BTW, the kernel build scripts do use python as well as perl.
