Hello all, I was hunting around this afternoon and found in the directory /usr/src/linux-2.2.14 a file called .config I was wondering if I could modify this, using pico for example, to change the Processor type and features? Can I do this or do I have to recompile the kernel. If I do where do I do the make menuconfig? Thanks, Sean :-) _____________________________________________________________________________ http://calendar.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Calendar - Access your appointments and meetings online.
This (.config) is the file that "make menuconfig" will write to when you are done making changes to your compiling configuration. Use "make menuconfig" to do this, NOT a text editor like pico. Issue the command "make menuconfig" while in the /usr/src/linx-2.2.14 directory. When the menu comes up, go into the desired category to make your change. .config will we saved to (if upon exiting you choose to have your changes saved) and then you'll need to go through the usual steps to compile and install a new kernel reflecting the changed .config (make dep;make clean;make bzimage (or bzlilo);make modules;make modules_install) --etc. Consult your kernel how-to before doing any of this. --Kevin On Sun, 18 Mar 2001, [iso-8859-1] Sean Oonamey wrote:
