Sure, as long as the package has a different name, the modules will also be
in a different location. Ie in your case you have 2.2.20, no problem to
install 2.2.25, 2.4.25, 2.4.26, 2.4.27 and 2.6.8 next to it. Actually the recent
kernel-images also have the subarch name included, so you could install the
official 2.4.27-amiga, and build you own 2.4.27. No conflicts. Actually,
that's what I use the shift keys in my zsh config for ;-)
But i don't really boot that often, to make big use of it.
If you need more versions of one kernel-version version, just set EXTRAVER
in the kernel-source Makefile to a unique identifier.
