Followup-to: comp.os.linux.development.system
I've uploaded a new version of kinst, my kernel installation package, to
sunsite and tsx-11. This release obsoletes kinst-1.0.
kinst consists of three perl scripts designed to help you to install and
maintain different kernel versions easily:
installkernel: new in 1.1, this will be called by the kernel's
'make install' procedure to install the kernel.
kinst: installs kernels in the boot directory, with version information.
genlilo: automatically generates a lilo configuration from a prototype.
Changes in v1.1 include some cleanups and code reorganization, and support
for the 'installkernel' script (suggested by H. Peter Anvin).
look for it on:
