That will make life easier: cd /usr/src/linux-2.4 cp configs/kernel-2.4.18-i686.config .config (assuming that you have an Intel Pentium Pro or better processor) Then run `make xconfig` etc. You should also take a look at the linux-ntfs site which has an rpm to add NTFS support: http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/redhat.html Forrest -- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
