>If I am running Mandrake 9.1 with the latest Club kernel, is there anything in >particular I need to know to compile and tet the beta 2.6 kernel? Has >anything changed with respect to the compilation process? Yes, a lot has changed. You no longer need to do all of the make arguments. 1) 'make config|menuconfig|xconfig|oldconfig' all still work the same. 2) 'make dep' and 'make clean' are no longer required, but you can use 'make clean' if you like. 3) 'make' will compile both the kernel and modules for you. If you happen to have removed something (in menuconfig for example), you do not have to run 'make dep' or 'make clean' or 'make distclean' or 'make mrproper' at any point. Just running 'make' is enough. 4) 'make xconfig' is now using qt instead of the old way. It's really nice. 5) 'make install' still does things the same way. In short, the Makefiles and related scripts have undergone some major rewrites. It works quite well now that the bugs seem to have been squashed for the most part. - -- Blue skies...
