That would be it. As for the other stuff, read the help dialogs. They really are quite helpful. You may want to keep your original kernel available in case your new one doesn't work, though. Temporarily setting up an option in lilo to load your original kernel is easiest. Otherwise you would need to use your rescue disk or some such thing. -- John Patton [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Let us have faith that right make might; and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it." - Abraham Lincoln
