Ah-hah! Finally, what seems to be a simple sequence of commands for
building a new kernel. But what must I do to ensure that my old kernel
will continue to work (with its modules), especially if lilo wants to
complain that the new kernel is too large? I assume that certain files
and directories ought to be backed up or renamed or something, but some
pointers to "safe" kernel testing would be very helpful!
