while i'm still waiting for official confirmation, i've offered to give next week's talk at the ottawa (ontario) linux users group. here's the current posting which doesn't mention it yet: http://oclug.on.ca/meeting/70/ since i'm in town and there was nothing on the schedule, i volunteered to give a short (hands-on) talk on building and booting a new kernel, and how to write, compile and load your first kernel module. nothing earth-shaking, but if you wanted to see that done step-by-step in real time and be able to ask questions as it's happening, stop by. i'm hoping that a synopsis goes up fairly soon. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
