That's the point of using the config from an rt kernel known to work on your machine. Don't change anything unless you know you need to change it for your machine. The best way to find out is to give it a go. It's easier than you think, the patching is probably the complex part. cheers, tim _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
