packages made by make-kpkg dont mess with lilo.conf unless you tell it to. It alters the sym-links /vmlinuz and /vmlinuz.old when you do a dpkg -r it moves what was on /vmlinuz.old to /vmlinuz and it leaves /vmlinuz.old empty pointing to nothing. You may have to repair that dangling sym-link, but that should be it if your lilo.conf is set-up correctly in the first place. -- -Peace kid Scott Henson [EMAIL PROTECTED] "God's the ultimate playa, so naturally He's going to have some haters," rapper Ice Cube said.
