I do that too; what's the oldconfig step needed for though? I just jump straight to menuconfig and it always seems OK. I agree that it is not too hard to compile your own kernel. I never use Debian's standard kernel-image packages (except on my 68K Mac, where it takes too long to recompile). Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
