Two more questions about my "new" kernel. Q1. There has apparently been no info included in the zImage about _who_ compiled this kernel. Thus, 'uname -a' gives the following: "Linux BeagleDog 2.0.33 #1 Fri Aug 7 09:05:28 EDT 1998 i486 unknown" What should I have done to have such info included next time? I suppose there's something to edit in /usr/src/linux/Makefile. Q2. The compile gave an _un_compressed kernel /usr/src/linux/vmlinux as well as the zImage. I can see no reason to keep the vmlinux file now; what am I missing?
[...] when I start pppd the message "localhost syslog: IPX support is not present in the kernel".
Sincere thanks to Stefan Troeger for the '-ipx-protocol' option for pppd. Problem solved. Re Hubert Mantel's suggestion to 'fix ifconfig' as a solution to the IPX problem, sorry Hubert, but as far as I can tell there is no boot action that sets an ipx device with ifconfig. Or maybe I just haven't the faintest idea of what you meant :-) Howard Arons -- Powered by SuSE Linux 5.2 -- kernel 2.0.33 Communications by Mutt 0.89 - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
