Hmm, there's nothing special with the kernels. Edit the config file. (DON'T use the GENERIC file, strip down your kernel -- kernel memory isn't pageable, so every device driver that resides in your kernel where you don't have a device for is wasting expensive physical RAM!) Make and install the kernel. Handbook, section 6, i think. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
