> How hard is that? Not at all. It's only a matter of selecting the drivers you want. Issue:- make menuconfig and then saying:- make && make modules_install && mount /boot && make install && umount /boot This will create a Linux Kernel file you boot directly, i.e. none of the initrd nonsense which is only there so that all the distributors can distribute Linux with _all_ the drivers as loadable modules. Then make sure the grub.conf file is correct. Use the attached as an example. Note that you may have to alter the video definition to suit your video card. In particular remove the suggestion that you have a radeon frame-buffer. > Since the problem is cosmetic I'm not going to risk > a borked system. Now-a-days, we have live CDs which work, so it's impossible to have a 'borked system' which is totally irreparable. > I might have to offer a meal and a beer one Saturday to a local guru > (I think I mentioned this option to Chris the other day).
