**Interrupt***
Create a filter to send any mail withou an "Re:" to the trash. LOL
Next select only those subjects that interrest you. Delete the rest.
All will be fine after that. If it is too much of a task to select through the
voluminous number of emails, send all "newbie" Subject Line files to the trash. And
then from there select what you are going to reply. That way your email remains sane
looking and you have the peace of mind that if you leave for a week, your email will
not be full or congested.

***Pause***
The difference is this; kernel-x.x.x.src.rpm is the source (uncompiled, and arch
independent) rpm package. kernel-source-x.x.x.[arch].rpm is compiled for a particular
system and contains source code for that particular system (I speculate on that part
but it is definitely compiled for that particular system).
***Unpause***

***What?***
You mean how do you compile a kernel-x.x.x.src.rpm?
Use this command:
(as root)
rpm --rebuild kernel-x.x.x.src.rpm
***Un-What***

*** Correction***
kernel 2.2.x and up to the current kernel beta has RAID support enabled by default for
mdk package versions. From the tarballs it may be disabled. All you would have to do
is configure the kernel to your personal needs, not recompile. You can do that all
day until your computer puffs up smoke and you will not change anything. From the
/usr/src/linux directory type this command:
(as root)
make mrproper
once your system is clean (through) type this command next:
make config
or:
make menuconfig
but if you are in a window GUI environment type this command, instead:
make xconfig
When all is configured and saved, type these commands. In your case, we will do them
one at a time since you get weird errors and such.
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make install
make modules_install
Believe or not, but after all this reboot.
If you can't load the new kernel because of boot errors, no problem. Boot in with your
old kernel and open of DrakConf and choose the "Tool booting utilities". Choose the
LILO/GRUB button and find and place your kernel. Save and now reboot.
