Newer kernels allow you to build this into the kernel itself as well. You can get the info by reading /proc/config.gz (this only works if the kernel was, in fact, built with this enabled). - -- The Wandering Dru GnuPG Key: 0x506A915F http://www.druswanderings.net Get nifty TCLUG merchandise at the TCLUG Store! http://www.cafeshops.com/tclug -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFANXxliwhv4FBqkV8RAjPEAKC0xBP+7OR7k/8L9kKk1pt0kglm7gCfU/4E eShLSsULbk0MqN2JKqwrrMI= =6IEq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
