WARNING!!! I think I spoke incorrectly on the flavour issue. I am not positive on this behavior so please read the docs and man pages provided with kernel-package. Particularly the statement about the kernel knowing which modules to use might be wrong. There is mention of a change with regards to flavours in kernel-package >=6.10 but I could not find an more details on this. Can anybody who knows for sure please speak up on the flavours issue. -- Brian Servis ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mechanical Engineering | Never criticize anybody until you Purdue University | have walked a mile in their shoes, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | because by that time you will be a http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis | mile away and have their shoes.
