Do you mean you want to compile it? You can get any vanilla version from www.kernel.org . You have to say something like "make xconfig" and then specify your configuration choices - or get the choices in one of the distribution kernels. Then you say "make". Either way it is very time-consuming. -- 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
