a couple folks on the local mailing list were asking about the mechanics of building a kernel for a centos system, and they seemed to suggest that there were some intricacies involved as opposed to other distros. i've never tried it -- is there a trick or something? got a pointer to the canonical web page that has the directions? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
