I guess I should ask in the Mandriva newsgroup.
Huh! Actually that's interesting. The default kernel and the kernels that I build for myself all have modules that are .ko -- the .ko.gz mean that they've been compressed into a gzip. That's not a problem, that's a good thing, and it makes me wonder if I can build the modules in the same way if I wanted to. > Thanks again for all your help and your patience with all my questions! It helps that you have interesting questions. ;-) And to be honest I perhaps like answering questions because of a _lack_ of patience. If I had more patience I'd likely be deeper into certain software projects of mine than I currently am. :-P -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [EMAIL PROTECTED]
