i would take exception to that instuction. there's no need for a regular user to unload the kernel source under /usr anywhere, particularly since that would require root access. i documented how to build a kernel here: http://www.linux.com/learn/linux-training/29812-the-kernel-newbie-corner-building-and-running-a-new-kernel if any of that is unclear, let me know and i'll fix it. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
