Rory, in a terminal, type "uname -a" or take a look inside the drectory /boot. Better yet, edit (as root) your /etc/lilo.conf where you can change the default line to your new kernel. Don't forget to run lilo when done. Kaj Haulrich. -- * Sent from a 100 % Microsoft-free computer * * running Linux kernel 2.6.4 on Mandrake 10.0 *
