Yes, I am sure of that. Another indicator is that the tty login used to show "suse linux 2.4-4" and now shows "2.4-14-lsm", so this should be correct (in a more scientific approach, I checked the lilo.conf file in which '/boot/vmlinuz' is indicated as kernel image. 'ls -l /boot/vmlinuz' shows this file was put there on dec 10 2002).

Any other suggestions are welcome

ps: oh yes, and I didn't forget to select the "NSA SELinux" option in the make menuconfig menu either.
