just RPM a new kernel in and add it to your /etc/lilo.conf,
making it the default. Then re-run /sbin/lilo. Then rpm the
new initscripts and reboot. Once you've installed the new
initscripts, just reboot and all should be well with the
world. If you need  a new boot floppy as a backup, just run
"mkbootdisk <kernelversion>" and it'll default to /dev/fd0
as the target. For example, my system is on a 2.2.5-15
kernel here at work (RedHat...home system is Mandrake <G>)
so my command line would be "mkbootdisk 2.2.5-15 <enter>"
and have a writeable floppy handy.
