Barry,

First of all, what distro are you using, and why are you still using
kernel 2.0.x?  You should probably be at least up to 2.2.x or even 2.4.x,
unless your current distro specifically cannot handle anything more modern
than 2.0.x.

Regards,
Ben Pitzer

The old one is having problems with finding modules. After making the new kernel I ran make modules and make module_install. I now have two subdirectories in the modules directory. One is called 2.0.4 and the original one is called 2.0.4-GB. One of the modules that the kernel can't find is the pppd and so I can't use the dialup ppp connection on Linux.
