Hiya gang,
Looks like with the k_athlon kernel update, it's 54MB. On dialup, I might be able to get it all between the time I went to sleep and when I wake up. As for the kernel source, at 180MB +/-, there's just no way I can do it. If someone's willing, I think I can wrestle up a little cash to send for a CD-R with both updates on it. I don't have a checking account nor any kind of credit card, so I can't do the paypal thing, but my word is worth better than gold. When I give it, I keep it, no matter what the consequences. I know it's unorthadox, but it's literally the *only* way I can get this update. If someone's actually interested, email me, and we can work out whatever needs to be worked out. Thanks.
Or wud-ja rather download the vanilla kernel source (27MB) and learn to do-it-yourseff? Much easier... no more waiting for an RPM. Bake it the way you want it....
Heh...I'd like to, but the last 5 times (actually the *only* times) I tried to do my own kernel, somehow, somewhere, I screwed who knows what up, and ended up having to reinstall the OS. I tried the way the SuSE books say, and the way some others have said, to do it, but I just think somewhere, a step was missing or something, so I'm kinda leary of doin' my own (but if I saw two seperate people write down the instructions and they were exactly the same, heh, I might try it again. It's just that I never seemed to see any two sets of instructions on how to do it that was similar in *every* respect). John - -- I needed fresh bugs for my SuSE gecko, and Linux penguin. So I went out and caught this huge ugly blue and red and green and yellow butterfly. They won't need fresh food for 3 months now. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+8eA/H5oDXyLKXKQRAot6AJ9bBKWNwtrRUxCjtvvQHNJVxqsGoACbBUmT nESDnvKtTqPE6CoCIlhCm7Y= =EBTV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
