well, the easy and debian way (they are the same thing, IMHO), is to: 1. apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18 kernel-package 2. cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18 3. make menuconfig (then go through and pick out all the drivers you want, including the appropriate realtek drivers) 4. make-kpkg kernel_image 5. cd .. 6. dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.18*.deb and there you are. if you selected all the appropriate drivers, you should be set. reboot, and you will be using your newly compiled kernel you may want to uncoment the "prompt" option in lilo.conf (then run lilo) to ensure that you can revert to your old kernel easily if something doesnt work. -davidc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
