for reasons that don't need explaining, i need to rebuild my current 3.0.0... kernel so that it returns a "uname" version number of "2.whatever". i simply have an app i want to run that checks the output of "uname" and if it doesn't see a major number of "2", it goes a bit squirrelly. there's no *technical* reason i can see for the app to be that restrictive, so i was just going to hack the top level Makefile of my git clone and label this as a 2.99.99 kernel. is there anything that would break because of that kind of hackery? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
