newbie kernel compile what I'm trying to do- reconfigure kernel for home pc what I've done so far- googled and fedora archived for relevant instructions I know abou the commands Make menuconfig; xconfig; gconfig; oldconfig. I know about redirecting output to a 'build' directory: (make 0=output/dir...) as I have read docs. and RH9 Bible by Negus. + postings, - but none of this jives together. But what should I do before the above commands? Anyone have a good description of reconfiguring kernel? Consider that my latest kernel was updated by yum. 2.6.6-1.435.2.3, so do not have src, that would be downloaded from kernel.mirrors.org ? tia bim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
