Sergio, Two questions. 1) You got 8.1 to work? I haven't tried in about a week but I will try again. 2) If I cannot get 8.1 to work your post indicates that all I have to do is edit a file and so Ximian thinks I am running 8.0. What file is that? Thanks, Quintin -Original Message-

if you do a 'ls -l boot' look at the symlink of vmlinuz. it should point to a vmlinuz-x.x.x-xmdk. the first 3 x's should give you the kernal version (the last x is the mandrake build) if you just installed 8.1 it should be 2.4.8 -- quintin On Thu, 2001-11-01 at 04:13, Søren Neigaard wrote:
