Yes, fortunately or unfortunately unix/linux works that way. Generally to make changes to the kernel requires a rebuild.

There is a application called linuxconf which allows you to change some parameters, but it is not as powerful as it could be. > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] > On Behalf Of IT Clown > Sent: Sunday, February 08, 2004 11:45 AM > To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: kernel + ntfs > > So whenever you make changes to your kernel you have to > rebuild it and use the new kernel?
