Or you can just use 'tar zjvf linux-2.6.0.tar.bz2'
x, not z.

Hi there again,
I compiled a kernel and it sort of boots. Well I can login, but that's about it. No X, no mounted ext3 filesystems! I was sure that I had it selected for compiling into the kernel... Anyway, I am wondering whether this may have something to do with the fact that I compiled with gcc3.3.1 (not 3.2.stg...). I am going to try and install from source 2.95.3 (the recommended) and then recompile the kernel. Unless, of course, someone has a nice mdk 9.2 rpm lying around? I have seen stuff around that suggests that more than one version can be installed at once so will just try and compile and install it.
The lack of success might also have something to do with the fact that I do not have all of the "required" apps installed. Well, you say, this guy... I was thinking that unless I was going to compile (either in kernel or as modules) support for things like jfs, xfs, isdn... then there was little point in having it. Am I wrong? I certainly have up-to-date versions of what I assume to be the essential ones.
I think that the problem is in fact that I wasn't careful enough when configuring, I am going to try and follow a bit more closely the instructions :-8.
I hope I can just remove the various files and directories and start again, extracting from source again. If this is suicide then farewell... ;--9
Cheers for all your help
Anton
ps anyone know where can I get mdk rpms of oprofile, e2fsprogs, jfsutils and reiserfsprogs? and gcc2.95.3?
