ack. I have always 2 Kernels - The actual one and the latest running
(i call it always failsafe and change it in lilo.conf, my actual has
label LunarLinux the latest has label FailSafe) so if i would have
any problems with the actual kernel (haven't used usb for two months
and seeing than that it's not working, and i don't have time to
recompile the kernel) i would simply reboot with the latest one.

so i think 2-3 Kernels would be a good choice, others should be
removed, if installed by lunars package management.

Cheers
Jean
