Depends upon how you're doing it. I have a system with 4 kernels to
select from. You just have to spend a couple of minutes in
/etc/lilo.conf, and add your own image listings. All you have to do
after adding in more images is to make sure that what you wrote for the
image location matches the reality (and run lilo). I don't rely upon
the symlinks /vmlinuz and /vmlinuz.old, I make my own that contain a bit
more information (such as /vmlinuz-2.4.18).
