Re: rh6.0 -- anyone downloaded a new kernel

["LeRoy D. Cressy" <ldc@netaxs.com>]

Hi All,

It should not matter what distribution that you build the kernel on if
you follow the README file in the kernel source code.

start off with applying the patches
	gzip -cd patch* | patch -p0

then 

	make menuconfig || make xconfig
	make dep
	make bzImage
	make modules
	make modules_install

finally copy your new kernel to where the boot kernels are located on
your system

cp arch/i386/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.3.3
I like the Debian method of symbolic links from the root directory to
the boot directory

ln -s /boot/bzImage-2.3.3 /vmlinuz

With symbolic linking there should be no reason to edit the
/etc/lilo.conf file.  Then run lilo to fix your mbr

It is a good idea to keep the old version on the system and have a
vmlinuz.old symlink in the root directory.

Have a good day :-)
