Hi guys, I have just had a chance to sit down and take another look at this linux system I am building to take over the running of the GB7ZPU bbs. I now see that, from reading the messages on this list, I have the wrong ax25-utils for the 2.0.36 kernel that I have - the one I've got is ax25_utils-2.1.42a-3.i386.rpm, and I see that I should have an earlier version. My dilemma is: I have 2.2.10 kernel source on my win98 machine's hard disk, all 14Mb of it. The linux box is running RH5.2. As a bit of a newbie at linux, can I compile the 2.2.10 kernel with RH5.2, or will I need to get the RH6 stuff to go with it? If I CAN compile 2.2.10 with RH5.2, can I use the ax25 utils that I have "in stock", or will I need yet another version? And though off topic, but related to my woes, can I hook up a ZIP drive to Linux? I have looked through the configuration when compiling kernel, but can't find ZIP in there anywhere. If I can get the ZIP hooked up to the Linux box, then I can transfer the new kernel source easily, in a zip ;-) I still think that the docs for Linux need to be written so a dummy can understand them. The docs I have found (HOWTO's etc) all seem to be aimed at university professors who now linux so well that they don't need the doc's anyway! Best regards Rob G1ZPU
