Yea! just another fact 'bout ZD... (a bit off topic) They write tests 'bout products they only run once but not tested! In german 'PC Professionell' they did a comparative test between the major linux distros. They complained about SuSE 6.1, that 'a menu option to compile the kernel without the possibility to configure the kernel first is rather useless'. Whoever wrote that crap did actually never try it, or he/she would've seen that this option first launches 'make xconfig' and after that a tcl(?) wrapper where you can choose between make dep,clean,zImage,zlilo,bzImage,bzlilo,modules, modules-install and mrproper... and then it does all that stuff in the right order...
never again will I believe anything written by anybody who is in any way affiliated with ZD...
