Truly discouraged Re: [Techtalk] Lost my place in kernel space,

[Andrew]

Hi all,
Caution this is a massive WHINE
	I can compile, make ,  _install, make mrproper, till the cows 
come home. At this point I have thrice lost my way. It could be 
naming the file in "/usr/src/linux-2.4.18ajs" has me off course. I 
looked in compressed/boot//tools/ and i386 and find no file called 
anything "image" ...

	What is "mrproper" I have not found it in any books or how 
to's except in Chix-land.

  Three attempts and three failures UGH, do I have to buy the CD 8.2 
mandrake it will be the third Mandrake CD if I buy again. Maybe I 
should buy a new Mac and end it all.

	I can see "lilo.conf" in MComander but don't know what to 
change it to. It, the problem, has got to be one of those very simple 
things that isolation from experience users exacerbates.
	Naturally having my wife and 14 yr old clammering for the 
"computer" and   stealing it for hour at a time, when ever I take a 
breath does not help. When does school start anyway, (my wife is a 
teacher).
	As snoopy said arrrrrr...rrrh

	Any ideas other than buying two new Macs for my Family would 
be very helpful.  I have read a huge amount of stuff just not yet 
actually done it.
