Greetings; I have managed to install 2.6.19 from kernel.org, and its running right now, however I have a few questions. 1. During the boot, I saw a message go by indicating that TUX was not supported by this kernel. Frankly, I hadn't figured out what it as for when it starts about 60 copies of itself at boot time that AFAIK, have never done anything constructive for *me* that I know of. Can someone comment about this for my edification? And if it does serve a usefull purpose, how can I re-enable it in a make xconfig? 2. Trying to do this as a user rather than root because you all decry my running everything as root. To that end I have broken my 'makeit' script in two, doing all the building as myself and leaving the installation to a separate script that must be run as root. This seems to work, but is there a way to run as the common user and still have rights to install the modules in /lib/modules/$kernelver, and to install the pieces and links in /boot that are required to achieve a working boot? Many thanks for any tutorial urls and answers I get on these 2 subjects. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
