If you were wanting to play arround with kernels try the tmb ones
what's 'tmb'
It's the initial of the guy who compiles it Thomas Buckland
Just update your kernel-utils and possibelyou init scrips from the cooker rpms (from memory that is - on my win doze box atm)
could you please give me more detailed instructions or point me to somewhere where I could find them?

is the source really necessary? I have no idea how big these downloads are so I don't dare do it yet :P
If you install these files
Then type lilo it should all work
what I'm looking for is that dreamy kernel feature which I hear will have that magic property of making Linux react faster (more like Windows, in giving higher priority to starting programs & running user programs)
greets,
I think that's the low latancy patch. Which this kernel includes. Hence why these kernels (eventually) become the Multimedia ones.
woow!! Yes ... so you're saying this contains the low latency thing? YEY! I'm all into Multimedia. Got any idea if Mandrake 9.2 will include anything like this (a kernel with this support)?
thanks a LOT!!
Let me know how you get on
I wish I could do urpmi some package and instead of it downloading it would just give me an exact list (maybe in a file) of neat addresses like you gave me so I could download anything like that:)
so after downloading & installing these I should be set an the only thing I'd have to do is select a different thing at boot time and nothing else in Linux would change? Wow!
Now I'm afraid these packages will require a lot of dependencies ... in order to find that out I'd like to do something like 'urpmi kernel-tmb' .. but don't know exactly what to write as there is no 'kernel-tmb' package :P
