But a 2.6 kernel (if that is what that old knoppix version is offering) should support ext3. A quick look at wikipedia (as always, "it might be accurate, or else someone with an agenda might have updated it") suggests that ext3 was mainlined in 2.4.15. My memory suggests that it was initially marked as unstable, but I think I was using it when I first came to LFS (apparently around March 2002, at least that is the earliest post I can find although I think that was for my second build - on the first I didn't use scripts). ĸen -- Truth, in front of her huge walk-in wardrobe, selected black leather boots with stiletto heels for such a barefaced truth. - Unseen Academicals -- Hi Ken; Thank You for the suggestions, and still talking to me.. I do not mean to upset everyone,.. THANK YOU Marty Hi all; Paul and Ken; I have downloaded Knoppix 5.1.1, but I couldn't get it to boot, it says no boot record.. BUT, while cleaning in my room, I found a four CD set of Slackware 4.0, with a Kernel of 2.2.6.. Right now it is Checking and Formatting the Hard Drive on the 586, running on the 586 File type is ext2 with 1K blocks and 1 inode per 1024 bytes.. I hope that this is about what You would be OK with for checking out the Hard Drive.. Also, from what I can see (so far) this might work for my Host, or is it too old of a Kernel to make this work..
