My kernels don't fit on floppies either- but that just means too much was included in the kernel; this doesn't mean that it's wrong. After you install your kernel source if you copy a template from /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs to /usr/src/linux-2.4/.config then you will be starting from the options that the default RH kernel uses. The best place I've found for what various modules do is clicking the help button, and looking in the Documentation folder under /usr/src/linux-2.4. -- Regards, Adam Allen. adam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx pgp http://search.keyserver.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=adam%40dynamicinteraction.co.uk
