I need to make a few points, I guess. kernel-2.2.22 may be an old kernel, but 2.2.22-6.2.2 is the latest patched version of the kernel. If not for the local exploit, I'd happily still be running 2.2.19-6.2.16
I never have, and God willing, I never will, build a kernel. If there is no rpm, then I hope I don't need it. 'make modules' and 'make modules install' won't work since my laptop is also my firewall/router and has pretty much nothing but the kernel, networking, pcmcia, and ipchains installed. (And of course the relevent dependencies.) Upgrading to a newer kernel/distribution is not a valid option either. I tried that at home, and I am now getting more error messages, and missing files, than I ever had before. [What the hell is libpthreads.so.0 (GLIBC_PRIVATE version)?] All I wanted to do was rpm -ivh new.kernel and reboot. I have since rebooted back into the old kernel, and now I'm having network problems. (I'm still troubleshooting, I may ask about them later.) Now that we all know my situation, that's for everyone's help up to now. :) -- TARogue (Linux user number 234357) "There is no right to fair use." -- Preston Padden, head of government relations for Walt Disney Corp. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
