yeah, i was compiling 2.4 kernel and it said that it was read-only.  Oh 
well, but i'm glad to hear i 2.2 supports it.

thanks

Oh i forgot to select to install kernel utilities when i installed Linux.  
What RPM package contains gcc in Linux 6.2?  It doesn't have a gcc package 
and the ones i download from the net say they aren't compatible with the 
version of linux i'm using.
