Be sure to copy your current kernel to a floppy incase you need to revert back. Upgrading a kernel is pretty easy. Once you unpack your source copy your current .config to the new source and do a make oldconfig unless you want to start from scratch. -----Original Message----- From: plug-admin@lists.phillylinux.org [mailto:plug-admin@lists.phillylinux.org] On Behalf Of Mattison, Jacob Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2003 11:16 AM To: 'plug@lists.phillylinux.org' Subject: RE: [PLUG] kernel parameters for memory usage? Yeah, I was afraid of that. I didn't set up this machine, and it does not appear to include linux source. I guess I need to download and compile -- in which case I might as well go to the newer kernel. I've never done this before. Tell me the kernel can't smell fear..... Tell me it's as easy as compiling apache....
