Hi, I'm working on a project and might do multiple making - I'm afraid if things go wrong. How to keep a backup of the current kernel? Thanks
Before even trying to do any development, I think that you need to learn about GRUB (or what bootloader you are using) and how to be able to chose from multiple kernels when booting. On Tue, May 27, 2014 at 7:56 AM, Nada Saif <nada.saif7@gmail.com> wrote:

Just use the packet management of your distribution to build and install new kernels. Under normal circumstances you'd then have several kernels to choose from as the old ones are kept. Your bootmanager also gives you the opportunity to choose from several different kernels and can fall back to older version if something goes wrong.
