Thanks to all for the help on my question about an automated install.
Now I've got another one for y'all:
I need to change some kernel params for an Oracle install. There's 128MB of
RAM in the box, and Linux sees it with a simple mod to lilo.conf. Now I
need to modify the kernel so that it can grab a shared memory segment that's
bigger than the default(32MB). Is there a way to rebuild the kernel with
just this change? I don't want to answer 100+ questions about my system,
and risk getting them all fouled up. On HP-UX we have sam, and it's pretty
simple. I just pick a param, modify it, and only it, and then the kernel
gets rebuilt with all of the old values and the one new one.
Pretty simple, I'm sure, but the how-to's seem to indicate that I've got to
run make config and answer all of those questions, when all I'm doing is
modifying a couple of fields in the shmparam.h and the sem.h files! Do I
just skip the 'make config' step and run 'make dep;make clean;make'?
TIA,
Jon
