I need to work a little bit with the dependecies (linmodems should depende on this kernel), and made a few more rpms. > also, which compiler did you compile the kernel with? and for which type > of CPU? was it compiled in SMP or non-SMP mode? what about kernel module > support? and kernel module versioning? gcc 2.96. The kernel,modules, and programs were compiled on Mdk8.1.

Nobody should ever install them, keep the original from your distro ;-) <offtopic> I could use some more help reguarding the building and kernel configuration. which list should I use to it? hackers-il? </offtopic> - diego -- A lifetime isn't nearly long enough to figure out what it's all about. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives available at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
