You should be able to get an SMP kernel working with Mepis fairly easily. I haven't used Mepis itself, but since its a Debian based distro, I belive that you should be able to install a Debian SMP kernel. Just search for SMP at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages, or better yet add some Debian lines /etc/apt/sources.list and download them directly. As for moving your home directory around, that should be fairly straightforward as well, though it might be easiest using the command line. Send your current /etc/fstab file to list and I am sure that we can walk you through it, if you'd like. -- Jim Crumley |Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List (TCLUG) Ruthless Debian Zealot |http://www.mn-linux.org/ Never laugh at live dragons | _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
