Yep, sure I got all that, C&P for fstab. The Pseudo File Systems are a bit different in 3.5.2 than in the new book, but I've got them. I started with a defconfig, then edited out some of the stuff not needed for an initial boot kernel, e.g. sound, added some stuff I figured might be, e.g. USB thumb-drives, I'll be able to verify & snoop this evening. (TV's doing a "pledge break". ;-) ) But I just got a replacement CPU for the box that was throwing machine checks to install too. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
