[LUG] Compiling the Kernel

 

Hi,
Well I though I would have a go at compiling my kernel looks not too
hard but I'm worried I will mess it up. So I remember reading
somewhere you could install 2 kernels and the boot into the test one
and if I it messed up I could just boot in to the old one (I'm using
GRUB). Now
secondly I was thinking that if I did managed to make it all go right
can I overwrite my original kernel with the new one. Lastly I use SuSE
and really enjoy having it kept up to date and secure does anyone know
if the yast online update will still work with it.
Could someone tell me if I have most of the above right and what I
should do to do it (if that makes sense).
Thanks in advance
