Using a gutsy kernel on feisty?

[fletcher johnson]

I would definitly leave the current working kernel as you suggested as a
fall back. I can't see you breaking your system by installing the gutsy
kernel properly as you can install any kernel you want (of course not
guaranteed results) long as you back up your original kernel and have some
option in grub/lilo to boot it as a fall over. In fact last time I checked
that's what Ubuntu does when it installs a new kernel.
