Like: linux_enable="YES" linux_version="2.6" And let '/etc/rc.d/abi start' handle the sysctl setting. This way you may update the kernel versions whenever you feel like it to whatever version you want and we (the users) dont need to care about it, we just specify 2.4 or 2.6. I also want to thank you all for working on the linuxulator. I use it mainly for gameservers and the newer gameservers needs 2.6 to operate. /Bjorn
