This is a kernel. What can it depend on? Assuming you have a proper compiler, binutils, modutils, etc. for 2.4, there should be no problem using/building this spesific version. Maybe you'll lack some user-space programs to exploit certain features, but this is not exactly a dependency. [Or am I missing anything?] > Does anybody know whether a Cooker kernel can beinstalled under the > standard version? I suppose you'll want to compile it yourself. Either download the -source rpm and build it, or (probably a better option) download the source rpm, extract it, and run 'rpm -bp path/to/kernel.spec' . This will extract the kernel and apply all of the patches. The atvantage here is that by tweaking the spec file you can try to add or remove certain patches ("try": because some patches depend on other patches, and may need to be changed in order to be applied properly after another patch was removed. Still, it is worth a try). -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
