You seem to be getting things mixed up 2.0.9 is old and obsolite as it were.

By hard directory i mean a "directory" not a symbolic link. In this case linux-2.0.34 is the hard directory. linux is the symbolic link "pointing" to linux-2.0.34 > >> check the HOWTO first though, as it goes through all this and more. ;-) > > I thanks for the subgest but I have my room plenty of HowTo, MiniHowto, > Readme, Faq, Books, etc. If I write here is because I don't understand all > that thigs we can agree they are not always clear for a newbie.

If when I have an question, the answer is > "read the HowTo" then why will I write here? ;) Well telling someone to read a certain part of the documentaion is something i do and possably will keep on doing it, the reason is mostly simple, by pointing someone to a certain HOWTO they get the "full" story on howto get what they want configured, if we all wrote answers to all the mails here and explained every detail we would sure have a very large bandwidth. > > I beg you pardon but English is not my native language and maybe I have > not express well what I want to say.
