Okay, I'm lost. I'm trying to recompile a kernel (potato 2.2.18-pre21-compact) because I've installed a CD-RW in the box and I need to override ATAPI, and use SCSI emulation. So, I've tried to do this, but I got a tar.bz2 file: what do I do with this? I tried tar -xvf and that didn't seem to work. (I already have kernel-package downloaded, btw). I also tried Google, but everyone seems to have assumed that I got a good package downloaded. So, anybody have any hints for me? Thanks. - Dave -- Dave Kleist dkleist at acm.org "The covers of this book are too far apart." - Ambrose Bierce
