I think you misunderstood, only if you do a make modules_install with a kernelversion that has the exact same version , then it will overwrite the existing, for example you have 2.4.22-r4 and you install 2.4.22-r6 the version number is still 2.4.22 and after make_install the old /lib/modules/2.4.22 will be overwritten. > > Thanks, > Mark > > > > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > > -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
