In Slackware, you are given the choice of some 20 different boot kernel disks, each designed to assist with a particular setup or piece of hardware. Once you select, you can just go to the /kernels dir on the CDrom, and find a directory (with the same name as the bootdisk) which contains: - a vmlinuz image - the matching System.map - the config file used to create the first two items This makes starting at a known configuration a snap; you can now customize knowing for sure that the config you start with is a working setup, and matches your bootkernel exactly. No matter if you use bare.i, net.i or aha1452.s you always have the correct, stable starting point. It seems like such a simple no-brainer thing to provide a set of .config files but for some reason, RedHat has just glanced over it. I need answers. Bill
