Ouch. I just reakized that the "&&" means that the cp commands are not executed. So I did the following from the commandline from directory /usr/src/linux cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-test cp System.map /boot/System.map-test cp .config /boot/config-test Then I... * added a "Test" entry to lilo.conf * ran "lilo -R test" * rebooted I am indeed running kernel 3.14.14 this time...

X seems to run OK. I'll try to put it through a more thorough test later. I'll be out of town, and mostly disconnected from the net Tuesday through Friday, so things will have to wait. Out of sheer curiosity, will there be a kernel 3.14.15.29 <G>? -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
