Ah-hah! Finally, what seems to be a simple sequence of commands for building a new kernel. But what must I do to ensure that my old kernel will continue to work (with its modules), especially if lilo wants to complain that the new kernel is too large? I assume that certain files and directories ought to be backed up or renamed or something, but some pointers to "safe" kernel testing would be very helpful! --Pete _______________________________________________________________ Peter J.
