Hello All, I have been in lurk mode here since I installed Linux Mandrake 7.2 a couple of weeks ago. Installing the system went very well, sound card, video card, etc were all recognized and worked with only minor fiddling. Getting my modem to work was a challenge and a learning experience, I can't believe how happy it made me the first time I got that darn thing to dial up! My Question: I decided to recompile my kernel to trim some fat and see if it could be optimized for my processor. The kernel that resulted is about 1MB smaller than the original and it seems to be working just fine. However, while the kernel was compiling there were many warnings in the output on the console. They were in red text and looked serious: variable foo_bar initialized but not used ignoring modified section in some_file There were a few others, but I don't recall them and I don't know where to find the log that would contain them, if such a thing exists. I would be happy to post the exact warning messages if someone can tell me where to find the log. My system's specs: <http://www.mhtc.net/~lanelson/sysinfo.html> Thanks for any comments. Have a good day. David Nelson
