2.0.34 is the lastest stable version.....it was just released afew days ago
and I have had no problems with it at all.
One thing to note; It does have fat32 and joliet cd support BUT, you have
to include Unicode support, then add your MS filesystems, then codepage 437
and NLS ISO 8859-1
Make sure you have vfat and ISO9660 in there aswell. vfat is for long
filename support, iso9660 is for cd support.
If you have never compiled a kernel before, go read the kernel-howto before
doing so.
In a nutshell eg.
cd /usr/src
rm -f linux
tar zvxf linux-2.0.34.tar.gz
mv linux linux-2.0.34
ln -s linux-2.0.34 linux
cd linux
make menuconfig
change stuff for your system
make dep ; make clean
make zImage
If it errors out that it's too big - make menuconfig again and remove some
'unneeded' stuff, or compile them in as modules.
After make zImage has worked.......
make modules
make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/zImage /boot/vmlinuz34
Then edit your /etc/lilo.conf and add a new image= section. Also make it
the first image= section (unless you want the default to be dos), as the
first image= or other= section will be the default boot choice. I can't
stress enough to leave the old image= section in there aswell. This is in
case your new kernel (for whatever reason), won't bootup.
SO,
image=/boot/vmlinuz34
label=34
root=/dev/???
read-only
Make sure you change ??? to whatever your other root= line says.
After that is all done and you 'know' you did it right.
/sbin/lilo
Then reboot
This kernel compile tutor may have been useless, as you may already know
howto do it. However from your message I was assuming you hadn't before.
Eitherway I'm sure someone else will make use of it.
Good luck.
