Robert, Save yourself some trouble and read this fine HOWTO on compiling kernels the Debian way. http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html By using kernel-package, you can do it all in a few steps and also easily differentiate your kernel versions. I always do something like this: cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.xx/ make menuconfig make-kpkg clean fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=yyyymmdd --append-to-version=-z cd .. sudo dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.xx-z_yyyymmdd_i386.deb It is very simple. -Roberto ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!
