Huh, what?! | ATI Driver Installer [...] 07/28/06 Version: 8.27.10 -- https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=27 vs. | Friday, July 28. 2006 | The brand new fglrx-driver version 8.27.10 is available as well, | just run 'apt-get update ; apt-get install fglrx-driver | fglrx-kernel-2.6.17-grml' to install it. -- http://grml.supersized.org/archives/172-2.6.17-grml-in-the-grml-repository,-fglrx-driver-8.27.10.html > How safe is it to apt get the new grml kernel and fglrx driver, to > wit, since I must have the ndiswrapper work, will module assistant > be able to make sure that the ndiswrapper works with the new > kernel, so I have the pleasure of being able to connect to the > internet and plage you with ignorant questions? Don't know why you want to compile ndiswrapper on your own, it's available in the grml-repository as usual: # apt-get install ndiswrapper-modules-2.6.17-grml Who says you have to delete the old kernel when installing and running the new kernel? Just fallback again to the old, working kernel if you consider any problems like "Internet connection does not work" with the new kernel. Just leave the entry in your bootmanager and don't apt-get remove the kernel-image. > If I were to wait for grml 8, due out, I presume, soon, will the kernel > recompile be straightforward, as in debian, and the modules all work > without a hitch? Will there be a way to apt install all the grml patches? Yes. http://dufo.tugraz.at/~prokop/grml-kernel/2.6.17-grml/linux-source-2.6.17-grml_grml.06_all.deb http://dufo.tugraz.at/~prokop/grml-kernel/2.6.17-patches/ http://dufo.tugraz.at/~prokop/grml-kernel/2.6.17-info/all-in-one-2.6.17-grml-6 Full documentation available too: http://grml.org/kernel-devel/ regards, -mika- -- You like grml?
