TILO works with just one kernel aswell. It just outputs a message when one is missing. There's also piggyback and piggyback64 which is included in the sparc-utils package (default install). -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
