Instructions to unsubscribe from this list at the end of the message - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello List,
Thanks for the replies. I'm sure selecting a custom installation of Linux, or compiling the binaries yourself is the best option if you want the best Linux system, the thing is that I find even the simplest task difficult on Linux, so for me to compile a kernel would be like asking an overweight 120 year old woman to do 5 consecutive summersaults. Let's say I wipe my hard drive and install Red Hat 9, and then NEVER update it until a new version of the distro comes out. Would it be useable then? Keith P.S: I REALLY think there should be a standardized installer for Linux, like the Windows Installer in Windowz. Would it be so hard to create a similar program for Linux? We went on the moon, surely this is possible! - -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Valentin FRUNZA Sent: 16 June 2003 11:08 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Instructions to unsubscribe from this list at the end of the message - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Keith, Ufortunatelly, it seems for RedHat that selecting anything elese but Custom installation will allow you later to do nothing with your system. As such, I would highly recommend you wipe out your Linux and select a Custom installation (you can select for installation only what you would need); as regards the kernel update, I would suggest to better download the kernel from the Internet (sources) and compile it yourself. You can in this way to optimize it accordingly to your system's hardware and your needs. As a general rule, the best installation is made starting from sources. Yes, it is true that it's not so easy, but is flexible! Best regards & good luck Valentin ************************************************ Linux is my choice!
