Good evening, sir. Ted here. I should have been more explicit. I perform a minimal install off of a 30r6 cd (I've also used the 30r5 cd) and complete the install, including installing aboot. The default installed kernel is a 2.2 kernel.
After I'm totally finished with said VERY minimal installation, I edit my sources.list file, and perform a dist-upgrade, including any needed updates to aboot. Because I'm not very good with linux yet, and because of the differences between a 2.2 kernel and image and a 2.6 kernel with initrd, I perform that step entirely last. (Putting a new kernel onboard). Once that's done, I install all the other things I'd use <which, seeing as it's a MULTIA, isn't TOO Much, although I have gotten X and sound to work> Ted > On Thu, Dec 15, 2005 at 09:07:24AM -0600, Ted S.
