Compiling the kernel is easy. The hard part is configuring it the first few times (untill you start understanding what the options are.) It does give you a few defaults. You can also install a stock kernel and copy /boot/config-<version> to .config which will give you a starting point. The problem is that it is a serious overkill for a non-generic kernel. -- Micha Feigin [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
