Thanks, that was indeed the problem. My processor is an AMD-K6, but the default setting was the Intel Celeron Coppermine. Even though it produces a kernel name including the phrase "i386", I guess that only means as opposed to the "ia64" or "ppc" or whatever. regards, Robert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
