Just a note. If you using 8.1 and have let the installation use the default then the boot loader isn't lilo but GRUB and in that case you don't need to run the lilo command. However, if you reqeusted that lilo be used when you installed the OS then you need to run lilo after running mk_initrd. Cheers, Curtis. On Sunday 08 December 2002 00:49, JW wrote:

Use Search. tell it to look in descriptions too (by default it does not). Then search for kernel. One or more should turn up the says kernel sources.
Warning: installing a new kernel is not trivial. Whatever you do, don't forget to run lilo after it's installed. I strongly recommend backing up your current kernel too. Oh, and if you DO back itup, back up /lib/modules/<current kernel verion> because installing a new kernel will often wipe those out. Then you'd be stuck even if you had backup your vmlinuz and initrd :-D
