But that would only allow you to have two kernels laying around. Right |
38 |
now I have these: |
39 |
|

root@smoker / # ls /boot/bzImage-2* |
41 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2355440 Jan 31 18:52 /boot/bzImage-2-28-r8-1 |
42 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2460088 Jan 2 20:13 /boot/bzImage-2.6.23-r8-7 |
43 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2288336 Dec 30 07:49 /boot/bzImage-2.6.27-r7-1 |
44 |
root@smoker / # |

I just cleaned it out the other day but sometimes I have 6 or 8 of them |
47 |
in there, especially when I am testing stuff. Make install just isn't |
48 |
my cup of tea. Maybe one day. You may also notice it took me 7 tries |
49 |
on one of them before I got it right. I haven't rebooted yet to test |
50 |
out the .27 version. It sort of got left out. |
