You can either download the full 2.2.14 kernel or the 2.2.14 patch. THis should patch your current 2.2.13 up to 2.2.14. The difference in size is quite large (about 5 or 6 meg I think). For the SB-Live, you can go to the creative site, and download the emu10k1 drivers, compile them and bang them in - worked perfectly on my box just last night. I'm still running under 2.2.13, but I grabbed the patch-2.2.14.tar.bz2 last night whilst I was getting the SB Live! drivers. I've not applied the patch yet, but will be doing so tonight. I'll let you know how it goes if you like. I've no idea if 2.2.14 supports USB or the SB Live! out of the box though - not read any of the docs for it yet.... Yes - you can download files with WIndows, shove them onto one of your FAT partitions, mount the partition under Linux and perform a straight copy. No problems at all. I take it you can mount your partitions OK?

Hi,
I have Linux Kernal 2.2.13.
I would like to upgrade this to the latest version
that supports USB, and SB Live!
I also have a USB camera and scanner that I'd like
to use.
How do I do this? Do I upgrade my Kernal level by
level (i.e. download and install the
2.2.13 patch first, followed by the 2.2.14 patches
and so on), or can I download the
latest Kernal and go straight to that.
Also, I only have a winmodem, so can I download
these files to windows and then
from Linux copy them over for installation ? I
intend to purchase an external modem
but not right now.
I currently have Linux-Mandrake 6.1 (Red Hat Linux
with enhancements).
Thanks,
Michael
