It should be; though, I’ve noticed in the Mandrake system that the installation is not as installed as I would prefer it to be; therefore, some additional fixin’ is needed… • In /boot/ make sure that the following symbolic links exists: initrd.img -> initrd-your_kernel_version.img System.map -> System.map-your_kernel_version vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-your_kernel_version • The installation adds a new entry in /etc/lilo.conf (if LILO is your boot-loader of choice). The entry is for the new kernel. Since the symbolic links points to the new kernel, change the new LILO entry to reflect the previous kernel instead. • Don’t forget to run LILO (lilo) after lilo.conf is changed. I have forgotten that numerous times… • Reboot and enjoy. Should any problems emerge, reboot to the older kernel and fix the problems. In the worst case, reboot to a Knoppix CD.
