I ended up using the stock kernel from kernel.org, sinnce the win4lin patches didn't like the kernel in 9 due to mandrakes changes. I did.. rm -rf kerneltree tar xvzf kernelname run pathches for win4lin Change Extraversion to something new in makefile make xconfig load the config file I was messing with, make changes Save changes make dep make clean bzImage modules make modules_install install like shown here. http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/doc/82/en/ref.html/compiling-module.html I didn't do make mrproper. It didn't seem to matter, and once I found something that worked I stopped messing with it. (I'm guessing that was because I reextracted the source each time. It only takes about 5 seconds.) I used the stock 2.4.19 kernel, not the one with mandrake. Changeing the Extraversion number each time seemed to get around some wierd problems. Once or twice I ended up having to change lilo.conf and run /sbin/lilo, but all in all it basically worked. One other problem I had was I had to specify not to try to use a framebuffer like the lilo linux-nofb option in the default kernel settings in lilo, otherwise the screen would go blank. Perhaps its something to do with the dvi connection to my monitor. The only other thing that would be nice is a simple script to automatically deal with nvidia's drivers. I suspect I wouldn't have had nearly as much trouble except I haven't built a linux kernel but once or twice before. -Robert
