Hi all! I built my first lfs system using the live CD version 6.3 with kernel 2.6.22.5. Now I'm considering in continuing the exercise, since the BFLS 6.3 is nearing release. However, I plan to update to the new kernel (2.6.24 or 2.6.25) since it has support for Intel wireless cards.
My question is, is there any difference in just building the new kernel versus building also the API headers from the new kernel? I'm a novice in linux building so I tried to search the internet and lfs-support archives but did not find a clear "novice" answer, the discussion was between more experienced users. I don't mind building the whole system from scratch (or from API headers) but I'd like to know the exact difference since new kernel versions appear quite frequently. Also, what effect updating kernel will have to the packages built with older kernel (in BLFS), is there a need to rebuild them? Thank you already in advance. BR, Pekka Horttanainen
