Karl, Have you considered coming into the IRC chatrooms? I am not always there, but I believe your needs would be better met inside there. The delay alone makes helping you via mailing list a bit of pain. Your mixing some ignorance (not in a bad way) with somewhat advanced aspirations, and I just want possible failures to jade you. lsmod doesn't really show your kernel. Besides that, what you're more interested in is the _files_ related to your kernel. To list those: rpm -ql kernel -- Fedora 7 : sipping some of that moonshine ( www.pembo13.com )
