You never know what game your mind will pull on you. It was almost bad enough to be what I call a flat-forehead error.

You got to see the effect of an out of sync world up front. All too often people get by with things and then they hit the problem. Their "but it worked before" doesn't mean much :). > > Is there any pressing need to recompile without the IPV6 and the > excess stuff you mention above?

You can just make them comments and wait for when you have a real need to compile your kernel. Just remember that you changed them so that if they don't work you can back out the changes. It has been a real struggle and when there is a sense of victory is when it is time to relax for a little while. > > Your help has been invaluable and I thank you. Now I'm off to DNS > (which I know nothing about either) :) I don't run named on my system. I use my ISP dns servers. I add two lines to resolv.conf and by-pass some work on my part. There are times when I wish I had spent the time but the need wasn't bad enough to get me started.
