If you need to recompile the kernel, use debian package 'kernel-package' to manage your work. For a config file, start with the config file of a kernel that you know and like, and edit it to include the things you want, e.g. ACPI. The man page for kernel-package is a must read. It may not be necessary to compile a new kernel. Look to see if ACPI support is compileable as module. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
