i want to test some custom changes. in particular, i want to force it to install a custom kernel, rather than kernel-{linus|smp|fb|secure|younameit}. do i just chroot /my/root/dir /usr/bin/perl-install/install2 or is there more to it? what does the environment var PERL_INSTALL_TEST do, and to what do i set it? thanks! joe -- Joseph Cheek, Senior Linux Consultant, Linuxcare NW office [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.linuxcare.com/ vox 425 990-1072, fax 425 990-1074, cell 206 679-6838 Linuxcare.
