RE: [PLUG] kernel parameters for memory usage?


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.

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....
