I've never had any problems, just wondering what the issues are... or am I missing something very simple? John You never had a problem running 'make menuconfig' while you were in the /usr/src directory? You must be doing something different then I am John. I am old fashioned, I put my kernel sources into a directory in /usr/src ( /usr/src/kernel-2.x.x) and then symlink them to /usr/src/linux. So if I was in /usr/src and did make menuconfig, I wouldn't get very far compiling a kernel. Do you do it differently?

Sorry, either you copied it or you were thinking exactly like the person who wrote the steps on the 'official' ext3 patch site were. Yes. Some part I have just copied and pasted it from the above site and I think I have mentioned about it too in the howto. Examples: The ext3 site: An ext2 filesystem maybe converted to ext3 by creating a journal file on it. To do this, run tune2fs -j /dev/hdXX on the target filesystem. The filesystem is now ext3! Note that the filesystem need not be unmounted for this operation. Yours: An ext2 filesystem maybe converted to ext3 by creating a journal file on it. To do this, run tune2fs -j /dev/hdXX on the target filesystem. The filesystem is now ext3! Note that the filesystem need not be unmounted for this operation. You are spot on. Yes. That is copy paste, but I thought the above explaination is the best one. Is there any point in my changes few words here and there just to say it is my howto. No. That is the reason. Look at the last link in the howto there I have clearly mentioned about this and I have even given the above link too. I have just added few things about kernel compilation and you can say rather than the one page I have organised it a little bit. If this has hurt somebody than I apologise.
