RE: Ftp Access.

[Tal Rosenstein]

Guys I am sorry to nag you about this but when I am looking at the /usr/src  there is nothing there [if i may add this is a Debian flavor installed from the net] over FTP.

 

ftp:/# ls -la /usr/src/
total 8
drwxrwsr-x   2 root src  4096 2004-07-26 21:27 .
drwxr-xr-x  13 root root 4096 2005-03-21 17:30 .

 

I know i can do:

 apt-get install  kernel-build-2.4.27-2

apt-get install  kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686

apt-get install   kernel-source-2.6.8   

 

 

But i dont know how to enable the ACL's   please help.

Thanks for the swift reply.
But I have 1 more dumb question:
This is what I see when I type:
ftp:~# uname -a
Linux ftp 2.4.27-1-386 #1 Fri Sep 3 06:24:46 UTC 2004 i686 GNU/Linux

Is this the latest kernel ? [if not where can I download it from and how
can I install it ?]
Again thanks for the help 

Of the 2.4.x branch, 2.4.29 is the latest version (there's also a 2.6 branch).

You can grab all the sources here: http://kernel.org/

Installing the kernel usually involves copying your current kernel config (that should be at /usr/src/linux/.config) into the new kernel (for instance - /usr/src/linux-2.4.29) - removing the symlink (/usr/src/linux) to the old kernel, and making a symlink to the new kernel. After all that, you do the compile, and install it and System.map into /boot. Then, if necessary, update the boot loader configuration file [and possibly install the boot loader again, if it's LILO].

That's really in general. In every distribution, you'll find things to slightly differ.

For the 2.4 branch, installation usually looks something like that:

rm /usr/src/linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.29 /usr/src/linux
cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
make menuconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.29
cp System.map /boot

and then update lilo.conf or grub.conf accordingly.. (better append than replace - so if the new kernel doesn't work - you can still boot to the old one :)
