Re: [Sheflug] Kernel Install Problem

[Darrell Blake <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok. Thanks a lot for your help anyway =o) If no-one can help me I might just 
reinstall mandrake on an ext2 partition. I'm not quite sure why I chose 
reiser anyway. I guess it was the fact then every 20 mounts the filesystem 
had to be checked. It gets rather annoying =o)

Thanks again,

Darrell
