Hallo Joe! I'm a newbie also! So if someone finds something wrong, correction
will be apreciated! 8-)
I've downloaded the rpm's from Mandrake (actually kernel-source-2.2.16-9mdk)
and rpm-headers also; install them and you'll get the /usr/src/linux directory.
Have a look at the readme file. You'll have to:
# cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
make xconfig (i prefer the graphical app; you can use the text one (menuconfig,
if i'm right)
You can load a configuration file, modify some things and save it with a
different name...
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
And then you'll have to copy or move the file
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot (you can rename it for, for
instance, kernel-2.2.16-test10).
Then you have to edit /etc/lilo.conf (what i've done is to add that new kernel;
once i've tested it i change the default one). Here is my lilo.conf (hope that
helps!):
boot=/dev/sda6
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
vga=normal
default=2.2.16-2
keytable=/boot/es-latin1.klt
lba32
