I need a little clairification on this kernel 2.2 thing. If I buy SuSE 6.0 with, presumably kernel 2.0.36, then want to upgrade to 2.2 (whatever), would I have to download each patch from 2.0.37, 38, etc to 2.2, or just one patch, then recompile (a process I've never had the best of luck with). Also, what is in 2.2 that would make me WANT to recompile? Anybody know? Just curious. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED :) On my AMD K5 and Cyrix 6x86 Machines it achieves a speed invrease of around 30%. Besides that netscape does not die after 3h or so anymore and the Cyrix Machine finally got stable enough to run a Oracle Server with 10 clients. To use the 2.2 kernel you will need to download the whole 2.2 file from either ftp.kernel.org or maybe when a SuSE version comes out from ftp.suse.com and compile it. You will need to throw out the kerneld start files from your start files and you will need to update 2 - 3 packages so everything runs smoothly. But, its absolutely worth the effort. ---------------------------------- Michael Bielicki Buisnetco Telecommunications Ltd.

I only set the DMA support in the kernel and did NOT use a TSC Kernel. BTW, I compile all my stuff with pgcc-1.1.1 and -mamdk5 or -mcyrix6x86 respectively (except for the kernel, which is compiled with pgcc but with the default flags) Besides that I only use hdparm -m16 or 32 depending on disk -u1 -k1 -d1 Thats it cheers Michael On 28-Jan-99 George Toft shaped the electrons to say:

I agree. and if you have a multiprocessor system, the speed increase is enormous. The new Adaptec SCSI driver is great.
To use the 2.2 kernel you will need to download the whole 2.2 file from either ftp.kernel.org or maybe when a SuSE version comes out from ftp.suse.com and compile it.

Perhaps you could be kind enough to list those packages if you know them :-) Thank you. -- lunaslide * PGP key->pgpkeys.mit.edu port 11371 * * * * * * In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is * getting caught.

I'm wondering, but my next machine, should I build it will be scsi. I've enjoyed the luxury of booting from cd-rom. Should that be possible with 6.0? TIA, Bob lunaslide wrote:

Another reason I went for it was filesystem drivers. I can read from my NTFS drives and from my BSD partitions, although I'm leary about writing to the BSD one yet. This is extremely useful to me and has allowed me to move completely to linux. I will only use NT for Visual C++ and training on Lotus Notes and MS Exchange now. -- lunaslide * PGP key->pgpkeys.mit.edu port 11371 * * * * * * In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is * getting caught.
