Yup. > I have some external modules in my kernel already -- vmware and nvidia > drivers. I'd like to avoid installing a new kernel and hassling with getting > the external modules in place again. Note that there is a Debian package for Debianizing the nvidia drivers so you don't have to hassle with them. For the vmware junk, just run their vmware-config.pl script again. It's automated enough. > Is there a way to get the newly-compiled PPP kernel module into my existing > kernel? Not that I know of, unless you were able to build an external module. You need to install the newly built kernel and reboot. -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
