Thanks Bruce, I'll give it a whirl later on in the week as the wife has other projects for tonight. Mainly, what I need to get going on right now is setting up forwarding from my gateway. See other email. Best, Keith B. Bruce Marshall <bmarsh@bmarsh.com> wrote:

Hey Bruce,
I already know how to do this coming from eD2.4, COL3.1 ;-). Not use to having to use lilo, mkinitrd, etc. But printed an email from this list. My problem with SuSE is due to choosing reiserfs and the extra steps in addition to the other SxS on kernel recompiles. Do you use reiserfs and what do I need to do when I use pristine source with reiserfs on / ?
Not much more than you have to do anyway. You either compile reiserfs support into the kernel or you have to do the mk_initrd thing. Just need to have the reiserfs support there somewhere at boot time.
When you compile the kernel, make sure to include loop-back support and the initrd stuff. Both are need for initrd support.
And if you do it right... you can make nnnn number of attempts without blowing your system up... Just leave yourself a way to get back to your original kernel.
