You can delete /kernel.GENERIC, but if you install new kernel and for the same reson delete /kernel.old before new kernel checking and new kernel will not work, you will have to find somewhere floppy disk with correct kernel to bootstrap your system. It is better to have kernel.GENERIC and you should be able to bootstrap your system with it, even if you install/deinstall some hardware from your system,etc. Brad Watts <bwatts@corp.netcom.ca> wrote in message news:200102141536.f1EFabB00357@corp.netcom.ca... > This may be a very silly question, but what is the difference between the kernel.GENERIC Vs. kernel?
