Right now I have these: root@smoker / # ls /boot/bzImage-2* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2355440 Jan 31 18:52 /boot/bzImage-2-28-r8-1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2460088 Jan 2 20:13 /boot/bzImage-2.6.23-r8-7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2288336 Dec 30 07:49 /boot/bzImage-2.6.27-r7-1 root@smoker / # I just cleaned it out the other day but sometimes I have 6 or 8 of them in there, especially when I am testing stuff. Make install just isn't my cup of tea. Maybe one day. You may also notice it took me 7 tries on one of them before I got it right. I haven't rebooted yet to test out the .27 version. It sort of got left out. Dale :-) :-)
