Once upon a time, well, to be exact, on Monday 02 April 2001 04:49 am, C. Michael Woodward struck the keys thus:
I am extremely new to the Linux game and i am wondering what the details are to updating the kernel? Is it an easy procedure or is this something that i should have my ducks in a row before i start. It took me several days (and installs) to get my linux install actually working. so i am not afraid to screw it up. I just would like to know what the procedure is.
Nothing to be afraid of. There are just two basics to keep in your mind: If you have an OldWorld Machine you need the Kernel also on the Mac Side for BootX If you have a New World Machine and an installed System you just need the Kernel rpm on the Linux Side BUT! You need in any case the file: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/modutils-2.4.1-0.ppc.rpm Otherwise the new Kernel cannot load his Modules, that would be like a meal without food ;) and ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/ppp-2.4.0-3.ppc.rpm Otherwise there will be Problems with your ppp Connection have fun -- Rolf Schmidt SuSE PowerPC Support Team SuSE GmbH, Schanzaeckerstrasse 10, 90443 Nuernberg -------------------------------------------------- "It is better to burn out than to fade away" Kurgan, Highlander
