Yes, it's possible, assuming you've compiled the module with the same version as
the kernel.

:( I'd need more information about the 'exec' part.. Make absolutely sure your
boot disk was created ok, and there were no read during booting, or write errors
during the disk creation.
Also make sure you've specified the parallel port driver information correctly.

I thought there was a command-line program available after installation, like is
available during installation, but there doesn't appear to be. What kind of
'menu-selectable item' does slackware have? Perhaps we can steal it for RH, and
incorporate it into the dist?
