Update sources to use mirrors as others suggested, (see http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html and pick one or more near you to try), and also try out yum (also after updating /etc/yum.conf to use mirrors). Search the archive for some alternate repository suggestions and sample sources files. (Hint: "yum upgrade") > > 3.

Think that was covered in another response, but also check out http://acd.ucar.edu/~fredrick/linux/fedorakernel/ for general instructions. (Hint: "yum install kernel-source") I use a script with some reminders: [root@radar0 linux-2.4]# cat ~/bin/make_linux #!/bin/bash # Kernel build steps: # 1. Install the sources # 2. cd <install directory> (e.g. /usr/src/linux-2.4 # 3. make mrproper && make oldconfig # 3a. (optional - copy .config file from configs directory or old kernel) # 4. make xconfig (or menuconfig if not in X) # 5. make dep # 6. make # 7. make bzImage # 8. make modules # 9. make modules_install # 10. make install # 11. configure LILO or GRUB. ("make install" will do this for you) # This script implements steps 5-10 # Note: adjust "-j n" for performance on compilation - runs parallel jobs # -j 4 is a good starting place for single processor (make -j 6 dep && make -j 6 && make -j 6 bzImage && make -j 6 modules && \ make modules_install && make install) >& /tmp/MakeKernel.log # check log file for errors when done, repeat as required, or reboot to test ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good luck, and welcome to Fedora, Phil
