Many thanks. I have updated the first few of 75 XO-1s to be used in a Solomons trial next week and will let the list know my observations.
I used the following to install from the terminal activity su rpm -ivh kernel-....rpm cp -a /boot/* /versions/boot/current/boot/ exit The cp command gave a string of complaints that the source and destination files "are the same file". I am therefore unsure if it worked successfully as per the comment below on the wiki page. However after a reboot the touchpad still works... >>>> If you omit the -a in the above recipe, the vmlinuz symlink will not be updated correctly David Leeming Technical Advisor, People First Network Tel: +677 76396(m) 24419(h) 26358 (w) www.leeming-consulting.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 15 July 2008 10:55 p.m. To: David Leeming Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Touch pad david wrote: > [Community News]....The kernel team has backported the modifications to the > older stable kernel so that it can be installed on builds 656 and 703.
