It is very light at the moment.

Anything else I should add under 2.4.17?

ik-0.8.9: Adds -b option, you can build and install the kernel from
the current directory with -b.
Summary of ik:
Install Kernel (ik) is a bash script that installs the Linux kernel
and automatically sets up LILO or GRUB.
It also saves your kernel configuration each time you do an install.
This allows you to restore the newest
configuration file when you make a new kernel. This script is
intended for two groups of people; people
new to compiling kernels, and people who are tired of moving files
around and editing their bootloader
configurations every time they install a new kernel.

Sounds like you should make this work as /sbin/installkernel.

Perhaps, however I began ik in December 2000.
No /sbin/installkernel existed at the time.
And /sbin/installkernel doesn't support grub on my rh72 box.
Nor does it check dependencies, etc, etc.

Bullsh*t. /sbin/installkernel has existed since 1993 or thereabouts.

You should really take a look at /sbin/installkernel from Mandrake.
Bootloader autodetection (lilo-grub), old kernel backup, adds entries in
loader config file... a bunch of features. Do not reinvent
the whell.
Perhaps it is time for RedHat to turn heads towards Mandrake.
