Hello everybody need some ideas how you keep versions of kernel around.
My current way is I created /usr/myconfig dir. store all .config files there.
then rename complied kernels vmlinuxX.X.X then update SILO so I press one key stroke to boot different Kernel versions.
and move them to /boot after mounting of course 
How do you all do it ?

i have added an small one-line command to the /etc/profile file to copy the new kernel into /boot. my /boot looks like this: | Code: | # ls -lah /boot/
