Hey all! I've got two questions:
1) What happened to sndconfig in Mandrake 9? I used to be able to get my
thinkpad sound card configured post-install by using the sndconfig tool
and following some instructions from the ibm website. Now since moving to
Mandrake 9, I can't seem to find the sndconfig tool.
2) Though I've been using Linux for about 4 years, I've never been very
successful at compiling my own kernels. I'm interested in simply making
changes in my existing kernel. I've loaded the kernel sources and
followed the directions but things always seem to have problems. Here's
what I did today:
log on as root, cd to /usr/src/linux-2.4xxx
make xconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
cp bzImage to /boot and update lilo to reflect changes.
Now, I didn't change anything in the configuration - I just wanted to see
what would happen. After rebooting, I noticed quite a few errors that I
don't get with my original kernel. I thought that the .config file would
represent my existing kernel - is this correct? Please take it easy on me
- I know it's something simple because a lot of people are able to do this
relatively common task - I'm just not getting something.
Thanks all! Mike
