The instructions on how to use the kernel-package stuff didn't make much sense to me. How/why is that any easier then compiling directly from source, the standard way? I downloaded the standard 2.4.19 sources from kernel.org, compiled and all is running with the new RAM being recognized. Thanks for the tip. Now that I am running 2.4.19, is there anything specific that I should watch out for? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
