Kernel backup

2014-05-27 Thread Nada Saif
Hi,

I'm working on a project and might do multiple making - I'm afraid if
things go wrong. How to keep a backup of the current kernel?

Thanks

Before even trying to do any development, I think that you need to
learn about GRUB (or what bootloader you are using) and how to be able
to chose from multiple kernels when booting.

Just use the packet management of your distribution to build and install
new kernels. Under normal circumstances you'd then have several kernels
to choose from as the old ones are kept. Your bootmanager also gives you
the opportunity to choose from several different kernels and can fall
back to older version if something goes wrong.
