It is designed for people that often install the latest kernel and get a little bit bored by the standard routine. It is not suitable for newbies and requires a working setup, a kernel configuration file, and the ability to read scripts and apply patches. Well that's not entirely true. Just that I don't want people to think that the script is a substitute for having to know how to compile a kernel. It's just there to do all the handiwork for you. Just answer a few menu-driven questions and wait until your harddrive stops rattling. http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software/install_latest_kernel/ I should update that description. ;) Anyway, it works for linux-2.6 and later now. I hope some people here find it useful. # Han
