It is actually much easier. After installing a new kernel run two commands: mk_initrd lilo And then restart. Sincerely, Alexey Solofnenko. _____ < http://members.home.com/asolofnenko/ > Alexey N.

I have let my unread entries grow to 10000+ on this mailing list, so please excuse any repetition from previous e-mails. I would like to compile the 2.4 kernel for my athlon, so If anyone has any helpful advice... Many Thanks Roger -- Roger L.S.
