Dear Timothy,
Please pardon me for being a little timid and slow with Linux as I AM a Newbie.
I did do some reading of the "HOW TO" and get the drift of passing the kernel
parameters. As I grasp it I should use the 6.2 install disk and at the
appropriate time pass the Parameters. Then do the kernel patch which I have from
Promise. Actually all the files are currently in the /root directory so maybe I
would just have to run the script sh setup-u66.
Am I on the right track?
Michael
