Sounds like too much work to be useful. :) Why not just have multiple kernels
that you choose which one to boot from the lilo prompt. For example
in addition to having choices like linux dos windoze etc. Set up linux-2.0.33
linux-2.1.96 etc. Lilo does this easially. IIRC the newer programs
required for 2.1.x are backwards compatiable.
Hope this helps.

Unix IS user friendly. It's just selective about who its friends are.
