I'm not. So there's what I tried to say: I'm a bit new, so maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, yesterday I recompiled my kernel, I did that before, but as always I kept the handbook open to check that I wouldn't forget some important part. After making the altered kernel configuration file I had to do some other things on the machine, something happened. Then I continued, using "Procedure 1. Building a Kernel the ``Traditional'' Way". When I issued # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL I received an error, but after I navigated to the directory MYKERNEL was in, everything worked. So, maybe there should be a sidenote that you either have to be in the right directory or give the full path. Lucas
