Thanks, I intalled the sys dir via:

./install.sh sys 

from the cd. What is the difference between lint and generic? Does it 
have any bearing when making a new kernal?

Also in the renamed Generic file, bascially I just comment out the parts 
in it that I dont have on my system, correct? Ive been following the handbook 
on this but just want to make sure.

thanks,
Keith
