It would probably be easier to copy the kernal, BUT I still recommend you to recompile the kernal. Then you will get a kernel that is optimized for your needs, which doesn't include alot of non-used drivers. After you installed the kernal-source be sure to read /usr/src/linux/README other usefull information is available in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/modules.txt (if you want to use modules that is) Tip: make menuconfig is nice, and have a easy-to-use built in help function (also availabel in make config) Good luck /fax -- +- Fredrik Ax -+------ Snailmail ------+- Where to reach me on the net -+ | \\|// | Kämnärsvägen 13 E:202 | E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | @ @ | S-226 46 LUND, SWEDEN | WWW: http://www.df.lth.se/~fax | +-oOO-(_)-OOo--+-----------------------+--------------------------------+ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
