Agreed. Starting with a simpler (even non-working) configuration and fixing the problems will be easier than starting with an (apparently not working) extremely complicated configuration and trying to fix it. Trust me, rolling your own is really not that hard, and you'll know a lot more about what's lurking in the depths of your box when you're done. (I'll also admit to a little bit of prejudice against genkernel...I have no experience with it, but the idea makes my hackles rise. That's just my personal gut feeling, and shouldn't be taken as anything even a little bit like a reasoned criticism) -- Ryan W Sims -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
