Sure, it's easy. Just remove the /lib/modules/KERNEL_NAME directory, and then the kernel that you created under /boot. Also remove the initrd in /boot you created (if you created one). You don't HAVE to remove all this though -- it won't cause any problems being there (other than extra crap on your system). You should also remove the kernel entry in /boot/grub/grub.conf. > Also, if do recompile the kernel again, do I need fresh source, or can I > just do a make clean, rename the setting in the Makefile for the name, > then go through all the usual steps. You recompile from the same source. Before I compile a fresh kernel I usually do a "make distclean && make mrproper". That will clean up the sources. -Ryan
