hi,
kernel compilation is pretty easy. Just see any kernel compile howto for more details. I am just giving some brief steps. 1. download a stable kernel source from any good mirror site like www.kernel.org 2. Unzip the source tar in one directory 3. cd into that directory 4. make clean 5. make mrproper these two steps will free memory 6. make xconfig but b4 that savethe old configure.in file here u need to customize ur settings 7. make dep // for fixing dependencies 8. make bzImage 9. look for bzImage in ./arch/i386/boot directory if ur sys is 386 based 10 copy it in /boot 11 make entry in lilo or grub 12 create a ramdiskimage if grub is there using mkinitrd 13. save changes n reboot. it will show on boot time. bye, nikhil "The Linux-Delhi mailing list" wrote: Dear all, Upon requst of one of my fellow, I installed Mandrake 9.0 on his PC, having internal modem as Motorola. Previously, I came to know from one of our fellow at ILUGD that now we have driver (Motorola Modem Internal) available for this and subsequently, I downloaded the driver from the links given by him. If any one of you remember, for the successful operation of the modem, this guy told us that one has to compile the kernel after installation of its driver. So many times I asked this guy, to tell me about how we may compile the kernel, but, I did not get any reply from him. If he gets my msg. I would request him to pl. help me in giving knowledge about kernel compilation. Alternatively, I would also request to other fellows on ILUGD community to pl. help me if someone possesses the knowledge about kernel compilation for which I shall be very much thankful to him. best regards, malkiat __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
