I'm sure this isn't the advice you wanted, but I'd just skip using
Linuxconf.  I've never liked the damned thing and can't figure out why
people would willingly submit themselves to it.

Installing a new kernel is only a few commands (from your message, it
would appear that you know what those are...).

[expert] linuxconf & installing newly compiled kernel

1999-11-28 Thread TRAVIS LOYD

I've compiled a new kernel as I've done many times in the past.  This time I'm
trying to use linuxconf to automatically configure lilo for me.  Linuxconf
doesn't provide me with a list of choices concerning which the root partition
to install to and if I type in '/dev/hda1' (what I am using now) it says that
that is an invalid choice.

All help is appreciated.
