Well, I have the SlimServer setup the way I want it, and all is working well. So I'd like to a) build my own kernel, and then b) install the latest e1000 driver from Intel.
My goal ? To have a kernel customized specifically for the box, and hopefully eek out more performance and speed up the boot time. (I see the box as an 'appliance'. In other word, it will sit in the corner running SlimServer and not be messed with too often). So disabling Kernel Hacking and support for hardware I will never use, and building the file systems statically seem like good things to do, along with setting the Timer Frequency to 1000Hz (but hey, I'm new to Linux so all suggestions welcomed !). The instructions I followed on my previous attempts are: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_debian_etch The kernel source itself was the latest from Kernel.com, but I have no burning desire to use the latest and greatest source from here. The most recent Debian kernel source would be fine, and that's the way I'm tempted to go this time around. -- DLloyd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DLloyd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9063 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39436 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
