Christian said to upgrade the kernel from 2.2.15 to 2.2.19, which he said was a "good one." Neil and I have 2.2.15 and I understood that if I patch, I should patch incrementally up from that to 2.2.18 or 2.2.19, yes? >Easier to grab the 2.4.18 or 19 source whole. For some reason I downloaded the 2.2.18 patch, and the full 2.2.19 kernel at 18+mb. Are you saying that it would be easier to compile directly from 2.2.15 to 2.2.19? And that patching incrementally from 2.2.15 to 2.2.19 is a more complicated and lengthy process? >If you patch then all the current kernel config options should stay. >Shouldn't be _too_ much of a problem. Does this imply that if I don't patch, but compile 2.2.15 right to 2.2.19, that I'll loose config options? >I've just (5mins ago) updated from 2.2.19 to 2.4.17 on my 110. Do you know if the procedure is written out somewhere for doing this that isn't too overly steeped in Linuxese? ;-P Matt (Questions, questions... it is a puzzlement.) >On Thu, 18 Apr 2002 16:34, you wrote: > > >Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2002 08:28:14 +1200 > > > > From: Fran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > >2.2.15 had a problem with RieserFS. > > >Slack came with a patch for that kernel to fix it. > > >I would upgrade the kernel. > > > > > >Fran > > > > > >:):):) > > > > Fran, > > > > Do you know if the process of patching from 2.2.15 to 2.2.18 a > simple >or complicated process for a linux newbie?
