I've read that installing a pre-compiled kernel, say, the multimedia kernel, will automatically add a LILO entry so that you can choose which kernel to boot into. What about manually compiled kernels? Logic would dictate I would need to add an entry to LILO myself, but would that work? and, where would I install a manually-compiled kernel to? -- HaywireMac ++ ICQ # 279518458 Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ At the end of your life there'll be a good rest, and no further activities are scheduled.
