I just did all this, for the heck of it, and it all worked quite wonderfully to the very end, so here goes the recipe:
To compile anything you need the development environment, which means at least the following and whatever dependencies they have: ii bin86 0.16.0-2 16-bit assembler and loader ii gcc 2.95.4-14 The GNU C compiler. ii libc6 2.2.5-11.2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone ii libc6-dev 2.2.5-11.2 GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Hea ii tcl8.3 8.3.3-7 The Tool Command Language (TCL) v8.3 - Run-T ii tk8.3 8.3.3-8 The Tk toolkit for TCL and X11 v8.3 - Run-Ti 1) Use mozilla to get a copy of the kernel sources from: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2 2) Use mozilla to get the OpenMosix patch from: http://twtelecom.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/openmosix/openMosix-2.4.20-2.gz So now files linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2 and openMosix-2.4.20-2.gz are in your home. Be there to continue this: 3) Open que kernel sources with: ___> tar -xjvf linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2 (a long listing of files geing extracted) 4) Decompress que patch with: ___> gunzip openMosix-2.4.20-2.gz 5) Apply the patch: ___> patch -p0 < openMosix-2.4.20-2 (a listing of successful patchings) 6) Get into the kernel sources: ___> cd linux-2.4.20/ 7a) Create a kernel configuration, you can test with: ___> make oldconfig (default all questions) 7b) Or you can use the X11 configurator: ___> make xconfig A nice tk/tcl menu system appears. You can load your previous kernel configuration and start from there. There is even an OpenMosix menu. Of course you need to be using X11 for this to work. 8) Make the kernel and modules: ___> make dep (long log listing) ___> make bzImage (long log listing) ___> make modules (long log listing) All this can be done as a normal user, from here you have to be root in order to install the kernel. The modules can be installed with: ___> make modules_install The kernel has to be installed manually, tipically with: ___> cp -p System.map /boot/System.map ___> cp -p arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz I assume you have the appropriate links in the fylesystem root and the appropriate entries in /etc/lilo.conf, so you finish the whole thing with a simple: ___> lilo It is all quite simple and straightforward.
