Re: [expert] Mandrake 5.3 and compiling kernel
Takes a witty person to come up with a comment such as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Listen cheezhead, I believe one person correctly identified the problem several hours ago. If I'm wrong and he mis-identified the issue at hand, then I believe you got exactly what you paid for. Of course, most of us wouldn't have to ask help in finding one of the most ESSENTIAL components of a development system to begin with, since indeed most of us can use rpm to find out what package owns a file, Lets see if the package isn't installed you can't find out which one own's the file I have tried. And second if it's so essential to building the kernel why isn't installed as a dependency when you select the kernel development pacakage? only you would then sneer about the lack of help from volunteers in fixing a problem a chimpanzee hopped up on Angel Dust could have figured out in about thirty seconds. So go drag your ugly, mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, raw-meat-eating self back to the rock you normally live under and let those of us with IQ's above the average arctic temperature get back to work. It takes a real mature individual, with an IQ of below 30 to make such comments, then I guess it took you all day to think these witty remarks up. But I digest cosider the source that's coming from and I chuckle it off. You amaze me. But my comments were not to insult any one intentionally (well in the above comment I take that back). They were merely sent so that if the people from mandrake are monitoring this list (which they are I have seen their post's). That if they take the responsibility to help one person they should help all people not a selected few. That's all. I know I may have originally started this but I am ending it. But I also realized that once I posted my original problem I found a resolve shortly after, but if anyone want's get into a battle of wits with me on this take it to my primary e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED], just so don't further embarrass your self. -Al
[expert] Mandrake 5.3 and compiling kernel
Hey folks, This for a different version of Mandrake 5.3. I am trying to compile the kernel and I am getting an error message that as86 doesn't exist and it can't write the actual kernel file. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. -Al

You can be disgusted if you like Gavin. As a person that post's resolves and problems. I have seen more problems get posted and ignored. I know this is a user help user mailing list, but I also see people on the list from mandrakesoft, and they ignore alot of things. That is why I posted what I posted. -Al
