Ok, now I have my system all kinds of FUBAR.  I found the as86 prog off
the internet and finally got the make bzImage work... now when I placed
the bzImage into the boot directory and vi lilo.conf then ran lilo.
Rebooted and chose my newlinux kernal and my computer rebooted. After a
few explertives I rebooted to find I can no longer use my ppp connection
or my network card through the xwindows, It just sits there... no dial
tone or anything?  Anyone know what I did this time?

thanks ahead of time..

Rick
