How do you recompile the kernel? I am try to recompile linux 2.2.7 downloaded fromHere is how I compile the kernel (In Mandrake, you have to install the source from the CD...
the web.
Once you install the source from the cdrom:
cd /linux/src/linux
make xconfig
then make sure you enable sound support for whatever card you have
and sound in general. Once youre done configuring,save and exit.
THEN
make dep; make; clean; make boot
THEN
cd /usr/src/linux
make mudules
move the module directory to a new location:
mv /lib/modules/2.0....(whatever
your version) /lib/modules/2.0....-old
make modules_install
After a while.....
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage /boot
cat using pico for example or midnight commander
and go to /etc/lilo.conf
then change (there are only 4 lines) the line
label=linux to label=new (for example). An make sure that the line
root=...has the right partition (probably has it).
SAve
Then install lilo:
/sbin/lilo
Reboot and is done.
IT sounds difficult but you have to do it only once and you can have your machine configure just for you. Macintosh is easier at first but it crashes all the time. I guess the process is similar to adding extensions in a mac or drivers in a pc. Linus has never crashed for me. Which makes it difficult for me to learn more (once you have it configured, it is so stable you forget what you've learn becasue there is nothing else to do....)
Maybe somebody can post where exactly is the source in the CD-ROM.
Good luck
