lilo is run by default by the kernel-image's postinst script; this holds at least for kernel-image-2.4.18-686. The postinst messages are quite verbose, it's rather a ``wizard'' ;-) -- even a complete newbie shouldn't feel lost, doing such a wizardy thing as a kernel installation. If you run GRUB for example, as I do, however, you'll have to edit the bootloader's configs yourself. -- Jan Minar "Please don't CC me, I'm subscribed." x 9
