[ale] Sound Config - Kernel Compile - Boot Disk Question

[Strickland, Thomas L.]

Forgive my newness, but such is my condition.

Two days into my Linux life.  Caldera OpenLinux happily installed and
running.  KDE looking lovely.  Here is my question:

As it sits right now, I have no sound.  When I get home today, I plan to
"make xconfig" to make Linux recognize my Ensoniq Soundscape card.  Since
this is going to result in a recompilation of my kernel, what is the best
way to update the kernel on my bootdisk?  Do I simply do this:

dd if=KERNEL of=/dev/fd0 obs=1k

Or what?
