  Onno Benschop,
  Will change my three files to match your more closely naturally some items will be 
  different eg: vmlinuz-2.4.20 will be vmlinuz-2.4.22-1-k7 on my system, now I have seem the
  appropriate files from your system I realise that the existing lilo on my system does not
  reflect some of the changes since kernel-image-2.4.18bf24

  If all goes well we will fly again, will let you know.

  Thanks

  Laurie
