Then you won't need to remember to run /sbin/lilo. Grub finds the kernel by filename (if you didn't fat-finger it) at boot time. You can regenerate the same kernel as many times as you like. Only if you name a new kernel do you need to update grub.conf (or menu.lst the older name). -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
