The message I was responding to was trying to convince me not to. Let me start over: Does anyone have any advice on how to make kernel RPMS out of more recent Linus or -ac kernels? The spec file is extremely complicated (two thousand lines) and full of things that I do not need, so I was hoping to find a simplified spec file that I could build up from, instead of trying to work down from Red Hat's spec files. So nobody thinks that maybe I shouldn't be poking about in these things: I've been messing with linux since the 1.0 days. First installed it on a 386sx-20. I understand kernel patching and can do limited amounts of patch merging myself. I follow linux-kernel religiously, know about the VM issues, understand the difference between linus and -ac kernels, know about 2.4.11-dontuse and the needed parallel port patch to 2.4.12. What I don't yet understand is Red Hat's spec file, so I was hoping for either some guidance or a simplified spec file. I can build kernels just fine, but I was trying to do it the "Red Hat way" for the sake of maintainability, since I need to apply these kernels to multiple machines (if they actually solve my problems). - J< _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
