This will tell your computer to mount the extra filesystem on boot.

The separators should be colons, not semi-colons. Try
`setenv PATH $PATH:/new-path:/another-new-path`
for tcsh.
Or just append it to the appropriate line in your .profile

oblems with NT 4.0 Disk
Administrator writing "signatures" to the disk. I've heard of problems
with NT 3.5 Disk Administrator, but I've not used it myself on a
dual-boot machine.
As for Windows 2000, I've not used that either. I'll let you know in a
couple weeks how that goes.

kernel. The way I use this is to write LILO to the Linux root
partition, and put this on the MBR. It works well enough; and the other
people who use my computer, who are intimidated by LILO's unencumbered

If you didn't change the version number in the makefiles, then you'll get
a new kernel, with the same version number. Thus, uname will print out
the same as before.
Type `dmesg | head -n 1` and check the reported compile time. What does
it say?

When running your chosen config script (I know menuconfig and xconfig
allow this), choose "Save Configuration to an Alternate File," and you'll
be able to load it next time you want to configure your kernel.

I'm thinking it was due to bad hardware.
