I'm using slackware, this box is 10.0

I have checked the limited resources for slackers, many seem to have the
problem, but so far, lots of different fixes, none work for me! Typical...

I used kompare to compare the differences, I love that program...
There were only minor differences that I felt would make a difference, but I
will probably begin investigating them soon.

into the kernel, except pcmcia drivers and usb drivers and removeable stuff
like that. If it's built in, I make it mono.
