RE: Linux Newbee

["Thomas Ross" <thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well I was able to recompile my Kernel but no luck changing my dial out
outcome.

Is BSWARE set to do demand dialing/Networking/Internet hosting from a clean
install?  Perhaps I would be better advised to blow everything away and
start fresh.  Sound like a good idea?

If you have the kernel source installed,  you simply go to
/usr/src/linux as root,  run "make menuconfig",  pick the options you
need,  exit, then to a make dep and make bzImage~

I don't know much about the 2.2.0 kernel but I think it should be supported
