Hi, I don't know the answer your first and second question. At least I can answer your third question. If you use 2.6.x kernel, then there is an option about it. Kernel will store its own .config file and you can view it in /proc. The exact filename escaped from my mind, but it is written in the help of this option. If you are interested about modules, you could use modconf. It will list the available modules for the runnng kernel. HTH. Cheers, Tamas Sarga -- A day is 24 hours long. Egy nap 24 órából áll.
