Yes. I always edit the .config file by hand and then make oldconfig to read it in and make the required adjustments, but most people are going to be more comfortable in make menuconfig or make xconfig.

Todd, Do you mean: make oldconfig make bzImage make modules make modules_install make install leaving out the make dep and make clean steps, and use the default Mandrake .config file from /boot as the basis for the configure?

I have 2.5.50 running fine... except for a couple snags, amd is kinda broken and the alsa-oss drivers are not automatically loaded for compadibility. In addition, the new modutils don't correctly work when they call the older utilities. (for some reason the .o.gz modules will not get decompressed automatically by the old modutils when called from the new modutils) :( don't for get to apply the patch in http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/people/rusty/modules/ for 2.5.50. There is one reject you have to fix by hand. All in all 2.5 seems nice, just needs much polishing. The modutils changes are the biggest pain. -- Bryan Whitehead SysAdmin - JPL - Interferometry Systems and Technology Phone: 818 354 2903 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
