For the benefit of anyone who finds this thread via a google search: 1. I installed Mdk Freq 3 2. Forced an install of the stock 386 Redhat 7.1 kernel 3. Installed Clearcase 4.2 (and relinked the mvfs module) 4. Rejoiced loudly when it all worked. -Mark -- Mark Belanger LTX Corporation Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Another possibility would be to check out the patches RH applies to the "pure" kernel, get them and apply them to a kernel from kernel.org Gregor -- E-Mail: Gregor Maier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 16-Aug-2001 Time: 09:21:08 -- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [expert] ManHat
why not try it? if done properly, you can switch kernels anytime, have them both setup in Grub or lilo,,, can't hurt to try it... rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Digital Wokan Sent: Tuesday, 14 August 2001 11:09 PM To: Mandrake Expert List Subject: Re: [expert] ManHat You would probably be better switching over to RH7.1 fully.

That's exactly what I did - switched to RH7.1. The thing is,,,I've been using Mandrake for a long time and I miss it. I think I'm going to try Mdk with the RH kernel. I was hoping someone knew enough about mdk internals to surmise whether or not Mandrake-specific apps have shithooks deep in the (heavily patched) Mdk kernels. -Mark > > Mark Belanger wrote: > > > > I'd like to install Mdk8 or FreqN, remove all kernel packages > > and replace them with the stock Redhat 7.1 kernel(2.4.2-2). > > > > Should there be any problem doing this for an ext2-only system? > > > > I need to use Clearcase 4.2 which is very particular about the > > kernel it really wants the stock RH kernel. > > > > -Mark > > > > -- > > Mark Belanger > > LTX Corporation > > > > > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > > Go to http://.mandrakestore.com > > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://.mandrakestore.com -- Mark Belanger LTX Corporation Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
