As a matter of interest, why do people undergo so much pain compiling Fedora's special kernels? I've compiled the standard 2.4.23-pre9 and 2.6.0-pre9 kernels (from http://www.kernel.org) and they both seem to compile and run perfectly. The kernel that came with Fedora-1.0 also runs perfectly; but it doesn't seem to me any better or worse than the standard 2.4.22. Actually, I have always liked the fact that choice of distribution and choice of kernel are "orthogonal". I wouldn't choose a distribution that forced me to run a special kernel. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
