I never even thought of that! Its obvious though - what I'm doing is dsitributing (even if it is only about 3' away) a kernel, so I need to package it.

Thanks, both to you, and the others who suggested the same (sort of) thing :-) So I've been there, done that, installed the package. Great. Now it says it can't find the serial module. Serial module? I don't remember even seeing an option for that. It seems kerneld is looking in /etc/modules for the list of modules to load at startup, where, sure enough, it lists serial as one which it should load, and no it isn't in /lib/modules/<any directory>/<my kernel version>. This is the first time I've had a play with kerneld, and it seems to have gone wrong :-( Does anyone have any clues as to what I've missed? -- Gary Debian 2.1r4 (kernel v2.0.39); XFree86 3.3.6 If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there.
