it seems though that you don't yet have the vocabulary to ask the most succinct questions yet. Maybe I can help. It looks like you are wanting to RECOMPILE the Linux kernel to include support for some new devices/features. There are two BRANCHES of the kernel 2.4 and 2.6 but many RELEASES from each branch. Furthermore, each vendor, like RedHat, takes the releases from kernel.org and CUSTOMIZES them as part of building a distribution (distro) like Fedora. The way you have asked the question lead Robert to understand that you want to build an entire Linux distro. Hence the gentoo suggestion (www.gentoo.org). That doesn't seem like the case but is also quite a learning experience. The second question is good and the answer is 'you probably should not be using RedHat 9'. It is old and i think unsupported. It is better to move to Fedora if you can. or any of the other hundreds of Linux distros available. If you are trying to get hardware to work then you should try out live CDs first like: Knoppix, Ubuntu live, or Mepis. - -- JT Morée PC Xperience, Inc. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDT6j0ucZ4lMT2d5IRAsDUAJ0eh1gNQfMM64BnnZuYYUJaEMHCDACfTg9e qjoo0aDz21MykGEl47cHlzY= =00gU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
