csm, 

How would you like to go about this?

i am willing to work on ways to improve this but i would like to dicuss what 
exactly you are looking for.  I have written a 1 level deep backup of the 
kernel source. And it moves to .old and it backs up the kernel to .old

although the backup doesnt add an lilo entry for the backup

Ill try to be in the dev channel tomarrow to dicuss
