It takes whatever you want to do with the kernel config (like "boot -c" and doing things at the config prompt). And don't forget the final line with a "q" on it (don't know whether EOF will suffice for ending configuration -- and strictly speaking I don't want to test it out with the chance to have an unbootable machine afterwards:). Mine looks like this, you can use it as an example: ----- cat /boot/kernel.conf ------- di sio1 q ----------------------------------- Not really much, I know. But all to give you an idea. :) virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
