Does anyone know what that is telling me?

Its telling you the your new kernel is too big, so... instead of using zImage use bzImage (big) zImage this will allow compression of your new kernel. You probably have more than you really need in the kernel tho. As far as wvdial... Its the most popular because its the easiest you could do the suseppp thing but then you'll have to modify the scripts *slightly* for your particullar dialup then use the command /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up generic if you're interested you can see my scripts at the bottom of this page <A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/WvDial.htm"><A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/WvDial.htm</A">http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/WvDial.htm</A</A>> actually doing your own dialup makes using diald etc much easier but more work initally. If you're only interested in getting connected then wvdial is the quickest also... I dont beleive you've said what vers of suse you have. Again, if you have 5.3 ppp is included in the kernel If you type pppd at the prompt and get a bunch of gibberish scrolling by then you have pppd on your system and the kernel is moot as far as pppd goes rob Linux Home page <A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm"><A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A">http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
