After a fresh install of 6.3 the script "susewmif kernel en" that I used in 6.2 no longer works. This script enabled me to compile a kernel while logged in as a user. (root password required). It also gave me the luxury of not having to manually enter the "make dep clean bzImage..." command after doing a make xconfig. Using the script as a normal user would put me into what I got as root doing "make xconfig". Then after changing the configuration file and saving it, it would then put me into another GUI to let me do what ever make I required. Then after the compiles were all finished it would put me in a mode where I could search the output of all the compiles for errors or whatever. Very nice script. On 6.2 it was even provided in KDE. SuSE/System tools/Compile kernel. Well needless to say neither myself nor anyone else I know that has gone to 6.3 can get this to work. What follows is the output from the command "susewmif kernel en". First from my 6.2 box at work then my 6.3 box at home. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and sorry it's so long. This is SuSE 6.2 output of the command "susewmif kernel en" &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Please enter now the password for root.
