Woah, I have to do that? I thought that the make install or make bzImage does that for
me. So what files do I have to move to /boot?

Theres issues there too... what if the windows OS doesn't speak fat32,
and only knows about fat16? NT4 comes to mind, but I'm not sure about
2000 or XP.

Not quite right. The kernel that I am currently using (2.4.17) does not
have sound support, but I can play sounds because I compiled up the ALSA

no, if you installed the source from rpm it is unpacked for you in
/usr/src/linux which will be a link to /usr/src/linux-2.4.18

It probably was in the distro. Your kernel was compiled with ntfs

Probably you didn't have the full path to modprobe, try

if that says bad command then

Hey All,
Yup your right, As general rule of thumb make sure
your windows is installed first before you do a linux
install. But that being said some service packs like
the up comming XP one will rewrite the MBR. (Well the
beta does). So a back up boot disc is a really good
idea.
I also make sure

Hi all,
I'm probably the only one that didn't have Linux installed after several
hours at the install fest. Couldn't get the booting disk working and
all. Those who have helped me might be interested on what I did
afterwards. (no no.I didn't start jumping on the Linux CDs or my
computer)
