If you are compiling a new kernel of the same version, you will have to move the modules directory out of the way first. It will warn you about this if the modules directory already exists. If you are installing a new kernel with a different version (eg. you are installing 2.2.18 and you had 2.2.17 installed) then you don't need to worry about it. It will create the new directory. -- Morgan Terry [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is easier to move a problem around (for example, by moving the problem to a different part of the overall network architecture) than it is to solve it. --RFC 1925
