this sort of thing works for 2.4.x ok for rh9 and 2.6.x, perhaps better to use make xconfig (and select good things) su make modules_install make install (which will setup grub too) and you will probably want to update nfs-utils and modutils prior. Its worth trying 2.6. It makes every workstation I've tried it on feel heaps faster for interactive stuff. john ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
