Jerry,

Thanks, I hadn't known that. Since I'm upgrading to the binary version of 2.2.16,
here's what I have:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           21 Sep  1 14:25 System.map ->
System.map-2.2.14-5.0
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       202415 Mar  8  2000 System.map-2.2.14-5.0
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       187304 Jun 19  2000 System.map-2.2.16-3BOOT

I don't know how to get LILO to integrate the 2.2.14 and 2.2.16 versions.

Bill
