title: Linux Kernel installation
body: <p>I am learning kernel programming and want to write/test modules in the kernel, do some development, etc. I have a Linux box with the latest Ubuntu on it. My basic question is this:</p>
  
  <p>Should I install the new kernel on this in the same partition and will I be overwriting the existing kernel? Or install a barebones kernel in a new partition to just experiment with it?</p>
