to make a long story short, if you go here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/lkn/lkn_pdf/ch04.pdf and read the page numbered "27", the section entitled "Building Only a Portion of the Kernel," can someone provide the commands to do those things that actually work? at this point, i'm convinced that those commands just don't function as advertised. thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
