Umm, you need to install the bin86 package. You may also want to take a look at make-kpkg in the kernel-package package. It automates kernel compilation a bit and gives you a nice Debian package that you can install with dpkg. The short of it is you to a make <x|menu>config and then simply do a: make-kpkg --revision custkernel.1 --bzimage kernel_image This proceeds to compile the kernel and when it's done it'll produce a kernel-image<whatever>.deb file in ".." which can be installed with: dpkg -i kernel-image<whatever>.deb Do a "man make-kpkg" to the details for yourself first. And read the documentation in /usr/doc/kernel-package. When I first heard about it I thought it was a waste of time. I've been building kernels manually since 0.99, but it really is a nifty piece of work that simplifies a lot of things for you. Gary
