As you can see, I used kernel version 2.4.20. I did this to get the e1000 ethernet driver inside the kernel. I commented out the section in the linuxrc file that tried to modprobe for a driver as it was already running by the time the linuxrc file was started. (NOTE: do NOT enable IP:Kernel Level Autoconfiguration in the kernel config, it just messes things up for LTSP). So now the rc.local script is trying to create files on the new RAMdrive mounted to /tmp and is getting denyed... any ideas? I did notice that the mke2fs command that make the RAMdisk does not reserve anything for root, but I don't think that this is the problem. ======================================== Richard Willis [EMAIL PROTECTED] ======================================== ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Does your code think in ink?
