Will it ask just the new things > of 2.4.20?. I'm a newbie. Yes and yes. After running make oldconfig, do the following in the linux-2.4.20 top level directory: make dep bzImage modules modules_install install and then reboot after the compile completes (could be a while depending on your CPU/RAM speed). This is about the only time you need to reboot linux after a software change for that change to take effect. jb -- Jack Bowling mailto: jbinpg@shaw.ca -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
