1 I keep a few old kernel binaries around that I know have worked.
2 They are not ancient; the oldest is 2.6.19*

4 Am I correct in believing that I can run these backup kernels even if
5 I discard the corresponding sources. I am fairly sure that I need
6 keep only the contents of /lib/modules/<version> and can discard
7 /usr/src/linux-version, but would appreciate confirmation.
