My point exactly, Bill has RPMS to eliminate the need for copying a kernel over after the fact. At least, that is how I understood it, based on what Bill was telling me. Meaning, that once the install is complete, everything is up and running, or should I say Talking. Bill, perhaps, you could clear the muddy water on this one. Admittedly, I could be wrong, and if so, I apologize for any confusion I may have caused the list. On the other hand, if I understood Bill correctly, the way in which I mentioned, would be a whole lot easier. Stephen Dawes B.A. B.Sc. Web Business Office, The City of Calgary PHONE: (403) 268-5527.
