OK, I admit it, I'm new to Linux. Although, in a former life I did administer SunOS systems. But for the sake of argument, let's assume I know nothing about Linux/UNIX other than how to spell them.
I recently installed RedHat 7.3 (2.4.18-3/Valhalla) at home. Using the update agent, I got all kinds of updates, including the 2.4.18-5 kernel. Much to my dismay, the default make of the kernel does NOT include support of any kind for NTFS. Well, at least that's my take on it. So I spent yesterday afternoon figuring out how to enable NTFS support (read-only) using xconfig, and remaking the kernel. This was accomplished by following the Linux kernel how-to FAQ stuff on the web. Making various adjustments and following along, I was able to create a new kernel with NTFS support, but it's based on the 2.4.18-3 sources that I originally downloaded and burned to CD. So here's my question, which is actually a two-parter: 1a. Is there a way to update the 2.4.18-3 NTFS-enabled kernel to the latest version without losing NTFS filesystem support? 1b. Is there a way to add filesystem support to the kernel without having to remake the entire bloody thing? Thanks for any help with this. - kamal _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
