My commands: make menuconfig dep bzImage modules su -c "make modules_install ; cp System.map /boot ; \ cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot ; vim /etc/lilo.conf ; lilo ; \ reboot" Don't forget to enable module support.

I assume redhat has also one -- as for example debian-users for debian ,-) wbr, -- Lukas Ruf http://www.lpr.ch http://www.maremma.ch http://www.{{topsy,nodeos}.net,{promethos,netbeast,rawip}.org} Wanna know anything about raw ip?
