OK, so I want to run kernel 2.4.16 on my box which is currently running MDK 8.1 (2.4.8-26mdk). The main reason is better ieee 1394 support, but that's not really important for the question at hand. I don't want to try 2.4.17 due to a few postings that make me believe it might be unstable on my particular hardware.
So I figured "hey, can't i just get mandrake's pre-built kernel-2.4.16-XXmdk.rpm and install it?". But I can't find that package on any ftp site or mirror (cooker mirrors seem to only have the latest and "greatest"). Does anybody hold on to old mandrake kernel rpms? Or do I have to root around mandrake's CVS for the last good 2.4.16 .config file, throw it into a vanilla kernel source tree, and compile it myself? Apologies if this is in TFM. Mike.
