Ok, once again, I'll post this up. Maybe somebody can give me some specifics. Once I've got the new kernel compiled, what steps need to be taken to run with the new kernel? I've got an SX164, AlphaBIOS (for the time being I still need NT). Debian 2.1, and the new kernel will be 2.2.11. Thanks in advance, I've never done this successfullly before. ---- Dave Wiard Computer Science davew@wcug.wwu.edu Western Washington University http://www.wcug.wwu.edu/~davew
