I stand corrected. Not that they made every effort to minimize the kernel - e.g., they do have IDE Floppy compiled in, as well as iso9660 (but IDE CDROM is a module). I also find this feature a little questionable. Anyone checked how they deal with dualbooting more than one RH installation? -- Didi ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
