-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I would like to add some additional comments about kernel recompilation if possible. I am currently using a 2.6.9 kernel on my Slackware 10.0 settup here. When untarring the kernel source from ftp.kernel.org, let it go ahead and dump into linux-2.6.10 (or whatever version) into /usr/src. in Slackware /usr/src/linux is symbolicly linked to the current version anyway. The current configuration generated by a 'make menuconfig' is .config built at the top of the linux source tree. As suggested earlier, I would copy this .config file into a safe place like your personal home directory so it can be brought back in the next time you do a kernel compile. From what I've read in the README in linux-2.6 kernels, you only have to type 'make' to build kernel static source and modules. I just then do a separate 'make modules_install' when I'm ready to install the modules for prime time use. I also have a couple simple shell scripts that copy the compiled kernel from the ../../../boot directory of the kernel source tree over to the /boot directory. I also use lilo to maintain a separate boot label with this kernel image and preserve one older one incase I break it. Hope this helps. - -- HolmesGrown Solutions The best solutions for the best price! http://ld.net/?holmesgrown -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFB4VrwWSjv55S0LfERAmIhAJ4r6TLDKPAwcs2o/yc3lU+dyEbFRwCePf6t f7kVrPBs1UriBqv3BrQ40Ng= =+UQV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
