Also if one kernel doesnt work, be sure to uninstall | it before you install a new one that you re-compiled. Increment the revision number each time you recompile. This will prevent conflicts between the packages, and you'll also know which recompile you are testing this time. -D -- If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
