Hi, Kernels are kernels. But there is quite a big difference between 7.0 and 7.1 as 7.1 has a double kernel choise install. In your case, I would go for the 2.4.2 sources in ftp..../7.1 as SuSE puts the same 2.4.2 rpm in ftp...../7.0 ( !! rpm will be faster ). Make sure you have modutils aswell ( ..../7.1) Make first a cloneconfig of your 2.2.16 kernel, it will give you a good .config file which you can copy to your new linux src directory. Be sure your linux link points to the correct kernel tree. Before compiling from source, read a lot, take a paper and write down step by step what you have to do. ( don't forget the steps lilo, mk_initrd in some cases etc....) Anyway, be carefull but have FUN. Filip Le Dimanche 8 Avril 2001 20:27, mhf a écrit :
Filip,
My mistake. I forgot to say that I am using Suse 7.0. Is it okay to use the files from the 7.1 directory or do I need to use files found only in the 7.0 directory?
Thanks for your help.
