Alright, I've rerun the FTP installation, and it quickly found out that everything was up-to-date and moved on to both the kernel and lilo configurations. I selected the 2.4.0 kernel (Optimized for Pentium) and then resaved my LILO configuration. Everything is fine on that front! Thanks for the help guys. Now on to a couple of others: Someone recently posted the method by which you add a line to some configuration file to enable the scroll-wheel. Unfortunately I lost that post. I remember where in the file, just don't remember which file or what the line was supposed say. Could I get that again? I like the updates to KDE2, pretty cool. However, I had a problem with YAST2. To sum it up, I ended up with a rogue window that wouldn't close (heck it didn't even have a normal window border). Unfortunately, I have no idea how to list, select, and kill the process. Any help for future reference would be nice. Other than that, I'm pretty good to go. If someone could give me a pointer to where I could find a fun (and let me reiterate the word "fun") tutorial on learning the basics of the Linux operating system (i.e. using various shells, compiling my own kernels, understanding dependencies, etc...). I'm a developer and sometimes Windows user. I look at tech manuals all the time (on MS products unfortunately). I'm a bit sick of tech manuals, ergo the request for a "fun" tutorial. Linux is my play time and I want something lighthearted to do to learn it! Thanks alot people. You have all been a great help, and I apologize to all for that one post that had the comment to which some people took offense. Josh
