I had a working kernel with GENERIC. Having made up a new kernel, the only things added were a PS/2 mouse and a sound card. I made a new kernel without an error. However, when I finished with it, I had lost all my users and configuration files. What happened? I can't do a make world because I'm running a minimal configuration with a 326 Mb hard disk and there isn't room for all the sources. Why did this happen and what do I do to correct/prevent it? ---Mike
