Well, I now have a good question as I'm not readlly familiar with the compiling and I want to do it right... the big problem is I can not find a updated HOW-TO about it with the sparc..
I reinstalled my debian slink for sparc, and found in the /usr/src files and directories.... first is kernel-source-2.0.35.tar.gz and /usr/src/kernel-patches/sparc/sparclinux-2.0.35-9800805.diff.gz and in the above line there also is apply and unpatch and /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.0.35/include/ and along with many asm-sparc and others... Now I know I'm sounding pretty stupid now with this question on putting all this together, but I've done all I know so far about linux on my own from scratch and with questions.... I just don't want to make any more mistakes as I'm getting tired of reinstalling it so many times... well, actually getting someone else to put the disk in for me as I'm a quadraplegic, thats why I want to do it right even if I sound pretty stupid about now... I'm also doing this on a sparc 1+ also... thanks for any help I get... Harold
