Hi Adam,

I tried it, and couldn't compile the kernel. First I couldn't get
"Configure the Kernel" to work, it was spurring a short message and the
coming back to menu. Then, I discovered that there's no kernel sources
in /mnt/root/usr/src, so I untarred them and tried to compile. GCC
wouldn't work in chroot because it needed the absent `cc' or something
like that (cc1 maybe?). There was also no lilo anywhere on /mnt/root/
system, so the instructions on changing lilo.conf are kind of mean ;-).
What I liked is that the GCC not working was GCC 3.2, not 2.95 ;-).
How can I give you a better feedback. Is there a log of installation or
something?

Sergey.
