Looks like it's working now. I'm *extremely* happy. Sorry for the stupid question -- don't know anything about how modules are handled under Linux, but I'll look it up today. -- Derek Zeanah www.wellbuiltnetworks.com 904.294.0355 (voice) 904.443.7701 (fax)
kernel 2.4 on sun4m
AFAICT there's not a single kernel-image-2.4 for sun4m, so I'll have to roll my own. Usually I install a kernel-image-2.4 before to satisfy possible dependencies. Anything I should be aware of? cheers, rw -- -- Ich vergleiche normalerweise auch nicht im Nahverkehr eingesetzte -- Transrapids mit im Fernverkehr eingesetzten Planierraupen, auch -- wenn beide Sitze haben (wobei ich, nach kurzen Nachdenken, die -- Rolle der Planierraupe an Emacs vergeben würde). - Uwe Ohse, dasr pgpalRyTwTl1y.pgp Description: PGP signature
