No I haven't rebuild a kernel *yet* but if it all boils downs to changing some scripts and then recompiling the kernel then I guess I am about to rebuild a kernel :) Let me read up on the HOWTOs and the docs and hopefully will be able to do it... I guess I will put linux on a spare box and then try on that first, so it won't affect everyday operation if I 'gooded' up the kernel :) --David At 02:27 PM 10/1/2002 -0400, you wrote: >Hi David.
