Congratulations about Guild Wars.<br><br><br>Once you have configured your kernel and compiled it, you just need to 'make install' which will backup your previous kernel as /boot/vmlinuz.old and your new kernel as /boot/vmlinuz.
<br><br>If you then have your bootloader set up to load either of these all the time you wont need to edit it and will be able to use the older kernel if you messed up.<br><br>You may also need to rebuild some modules, such as proprietary graphics drivers after you've done this.
<br><br>Once you've gone through configuring and compiling the kernel there isn't much to worry about though, if it all falls apart just go back to your old kernel and try again.<br><br>Good Luck,<br><br>dreamisdead
