The easiest and safest way is to go to your boot directory and copy and paste vmlinuz and initrd.mdk.img to include the current name, e.g. initrd-2.4.21-0.13mdk.img. Then, instead of upgrading, you install the new kernel. When you have done that, rename them to include the version as well. You will then have to manually edit lilo.conf so that it offers you the old and the new version, using the new names of the files to tell it which one to load. The advantage to this is that if something goes wrong you can always boot back to the old kernel. Personally, I would put in an extra stanza in the lilo.conf using the new names, before I did the install. Don't forget that you have to run /sbin/lilo as root when you have made any changes, or it will still act on the old one. Anne
