Maybe unrelated but a testament to the Debian kernel packager(s). I dl'd the Debian 2.6.7 source, ran 'make xconfig' works fine. I dl'd the 2.6.8.1 kernel source from kernel.org , ran 'make-xconfig' and it fails to start. -- Greg C. Madden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
