I do it this way: mkbootdisk (if I don't have one that _works_, and verify that it works) make distclean copy over appropriate configuration file to .config make menuconfig (or make xconfig) make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install make install lilo -v (to check that lilo got configured OK) -- Hoyt -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
