Newbie with a problem, must be the right place.
I have been fiddling with RH 5.1 for a week and a half now and need some
help. I intend to use loadlin to dual boot, but I have run into a few
problems.
#1. *Somehow* finally managed to get kernal support for vfat and
iso9660 filesystems, never would install with it. The problem here is
that it only gives me support for them when I boot from my boot disk.
It would seem that compiling a new kernel would allow me to build these
in. This leads to...
#2. Can't get "make" to make anything. "make config" and "make
menuconfig" give me some error about rules don't exist or something like
that, but the kernel that was initially installed should work to begin
with for learning the basics but I'm running in circles.
#3. Can't find zImage or anything that appears to be a kernel image
anywhere, I copied "vmlinuz-2.0.34-0.6" to a Windows partition and it
boots, but no support for the filesystems as mentioned in #1.
I have a PII 333, 64Mb Ram, 6.4 and 7.0Gb IDE hard drives, an IDE
CD-ROM, everything is supported, intention is to have a Win98(write
Visual Basic programs for work, I'd be happy to DUMP the memory
hog...)/Linux dual boot, I've been reading tons of HOWTOs, FAQs, but
nothing seems to match! Any help would be most appreciated...
