I've tried to recompile newer and older kernels on my machine. Having recompiled kernels in FreeBSD and seeing how easy it was, and how much fun it was to do it, I figured, "Hey... I'll cut my kernel down to size and it will boot much faster!" Well I managed to cut it down pretty well, but the problem is that it wouldn't load all the modules. I couldn't get sound to work, or NFS, or various other things to work properly. My machine did boot a little bit faster, and it would let me boot, but it wouldn't actually let me hear sound or other things I had grown accustom to. But yes, there is a file that it creates that has the information used for the kernel so you can use it some other time. It's in /usr/src/linux. If you look there you can find the config file. There's also a default config that's in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386. Hope that comes in handy. tdh -- T. Holmes ----------------- UNIXTECHS.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------- "Real Men Use Vi!"
