I checked the article below out - and instead of using the debian
install I did a ' mke2fs -b 2048 /dev/sda1'. I also tried a 4k

Am I doing this correctly?

Does anybody know where I can find this as86 thing. My kernel wants it
during the compile. Also does the zimage automaticly gets installed when
you do a make zimage or does it just makes it without installation.

You didn't tell us what you were selecting for PPP in "make xconfig". If I am
