will make mrproper delete the map files? could be a problem if you forgot about the symlink,... I just learnt... I use the multiple map files, not the symlink. _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: System.map
Mike Andrew babbled on about: How would I automate the copying of the currently compiling System.map-version to /boot ? I tend to write scripts. perhaps 'make bzlilo' does it? I don't know. there's an awful lot of make targets in the kernel nowadays obviously, uname -r is wrong, because that aint THE compiling kernel.

Re: System.map
Net Llama babbled on about: yes. this is how i've done it for quite some time without any problems. the multiple .map files or the symlink? if you use a symlink to /usr/src/linux/System.map... what happens when you load some kernel other than the one that corresponds to the source in /usr/src/linux. e.g. /usr/src/linux - /usr/src/linux-2.4.14 and /usr/src/l;inux-2.4.13 is there /boot has the .13 and .14 kernels. /boot/System.map is link to /usr/src/linux reboot, .14 panics... reboot, choose .13 from lilo menu.. you now have wrong map. what would happen? -- Douglas J Hunley (doug at hunley.homeip.net) - Linux User #174778 Admin: http://linux.nf Admin: http://hunley.homeip.net How do you feel about women's rights?
