A more detailed approach. I made a mess of installing a custom kernal. (2.4x). I tried again with a new kernel. 2.64. This didn't work so I decided to start again as there was little installed. I downloaded the newest source mage (with the 2.63 kernetl), deleted all partitions, reformatted the partitions, transfered the basic install. But when I got to the splash screen I was given the list of 2.4x or 2.64. I would have guessed that fdisk would have erased all that. I still have problems with my cd as I can't even load Knoppix.
I would have guessed that reformatting the disk would wipe everything out but it seems not to be the case. On Tuesday March 30 2004 17:44, pa3gcu wrote: > On Tuesday 30 March 2004 09:11, S.
