I now have Slackware 4 with 2.2.6 kernel and have X running. Now I need to
get ax25 working for 3 kiss links to tncs in kiss mode. I notice that there
are a number of ax25 files in /usr/linux-2.2.6/net/ax25 and elsewhere in
that tree..
I've read the HOWTO which in section 4.1 says
# mv linux linux.old # why?
#cd /usr/src
#tar xvfz linux-2.0.31.tar.gz #Was this a 'new' kernel? is the step
necessary?
#tar xvfz /pub/net/ax25/ax25-module-14e.tar.gz # This would be the
matching ax25 tools
#patch -p0 </usr/src/ax25-module-14//ax25-2.0.31-2.1.27-2.diff # this gets
confusing :-(
#snip....
I'm not sure what version of ax25 tools I should have for kernel 2.2.6.
Getting this bit right seems to be crucial.
the make config looks relatively straightforward. All other configuration
seems not to involve the kernel so it will be easier to correct mistakes.
(I havn't made a kernel since about 0.9).
