Well, it would be nice to be able to type one command and
have it compile the kernel, copy it to the /boot
directory, add it to the lilo.conf and re-run lilo for you.
I can see that. You'd still have to configure the kernel to
choose the options you wanted, but once you're done with
that, I can see how it would be nice to run ONE script, say
"kernelcompiler," and then double-check that the new kernel
had been added to the lilo.conf and reboot.
