is there some program that compiles the kernel source and produces the
vmlinuz and initrd files that the regular kernel has? I've followed the
directions in the readme file and end up with a bzImage file. There are
instructions for making an initrd file from scratch but surely there must be

Three trivial questions on LM 8.0 -- sorry to waste everyone's time:
1. How do I get rid of the opening screen that says Welcome in different
languages? it is about as interesting as a flyer off an airline.
2. How do I get the penguin image back for root in the opening xwindow
dialog? 7.2
I have the same mouse and it works on my regular computer. maybe your usb
port is buggy. There usually are two, try switching the mouse from one to
the other and see if it works.

cds of Mandrake beta 8.0 at nominal cost are now available from www.lsl.com

doesn't that mean that you've gotta go UNINSTALL kdelibs-sound, etc., before
going on?
I assume you are installing the KDE upgrades that don't require glibc 2.2 or

If you are installing linux on a system with windows on it, like a lot of

do those extra mode lines work with version 4.0 or is it just limited to the
old versions? I never noticed any difference.

Oh, you probably know this already but Disk Drake causes errors when it
makes partitions.I think it partitioned off part of an extended dos
drive rather than making a new partition. It is better to use something
else to make the partitions, like partition commander or something.
They're not

That cute little mode line configurator -- does it work only with the 3.3.6
