Re: [PLUG] Update: USB on 2.2.18
|
Just a couple comments...
I'd been looking forward to the official release of 2.2.18 for a couple
weeks now. I'd decided to look into a pre-patch version of it a little bit
ago (either 22 or 24, can't remember which). Noted the neat stuff in the
config. :) Since then, I was randomly checking ftp.kernel.org to see if
it was up yet. I actually built the kernel, but got a kernel panic.
That's when you remember, "Oh yeah. My root filesystem is ReiserFS." :)
Of course, the 2.2.17 patch didn't work. But once Namesys has the patch up
at their site, I'll be giving it another shot. :)

Missing development libraries. :)

Well, again, it depends. If you use an .rpm or a .deb, it will be in
/usr/bin, since the FHS says that /usr/local is not to be touched by the
distributions, but is rather the domain of the system administrator. If
you had compiled the program from source, it would have most likely been in
/usr/local/bin, as the configure scripts in most source tarballs I've seen
nowadays put things in /usr/local by default (since, by definition, it is
you, the system administrator, compiling the program and installing it
yourself, outside of the province of the distribution/packaging system).

Are you going to patch linux-usb.org's docs? ;)
