Once booted up, I find did not find a file with kernel as part of the |
| 9 |
name on neither the minimalcd or livedvd. Usage of "vmlinux" was an |
| 10 |
oversite on my part. |

When I used "vmlinux" to qualify the find search, I found those previously |
| 13 |
mentioned, on the booted up medias. Like I told likeWahoa, I'll have to |
| 14 |
check there once I unmount the media. I guess I could download and isoimage |
| 15 |
and pull it apart, or burn it to usb and look. For now, I've found something |
| 16 |
sufficient. With what you and Rich have said, I also can parse out |
| 17 |
many different kernels to look at. |
