Greets list; This is a long message For a lot of you, this is a nothing chore; for me, I've never done this before, and I apologize for wasting your valuble bandwidth;
I'm playing with a COL WS 3.1.1. edition for the time now; I will be dropping this distro, since it appears Caldera is changing focus from desktops to servers. Firstly; I think I upgraded the compiler correctly. However, I cannot find the tests for the gnu gcc version 2.95.3 . I would like to test to make sure. [ I finally got enough time to dive head in this weekend, and gave it a try. ] The site documention is somewhat circular, and I get more frustrated the more and more I read it. I cannot find the link from the site docs. [ either that, or i'm trying to hard ] And please, if testing this is as simple as ]# make -k test I didn't get that impression from the onsite documentation. I was wondering, where can I find the compiler test suites for gnu gcc 2.95.3? A hypertext link to the any ftp site would help me emmensely :) Second; I'm jumping from the default kernel version 2.4.13-dist from Caldera, to 2.4.19. I've read the Docs, and I think I linked the libraries from the new compiler and the existing libraries on the COL correctly. I wanted to perform as little work as possible to perform a re-compile. I decided to re-compile a monolithic kernel. I have some Scsi emulation I must perform ( CD-R, Zip disk ), and I wanted to know if a COL default kernel config and some kernel parameters passed by GRUB is enough? Or, do I take the default config, and alter it to eliminate the references for a initrd.gz file instead? Would the kernel be able to boot by not 'seeing' a ramdisk, or do the kernel parameters still have to be passed in order to do this? I know a lot of you have this down to a art, so I decided to ask a few experts :) ---tm--- Linux Registration Number; 184093, http://counter.li.org __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.
