Hello,
I asked this several months ago. And since now I am putting hands
to work on changing the kernel to run MOSIX in a couple of computers, I
would like to make sure I understood.
I run Linux-Mandrake 7.2 with kernel 2.2.17 and would like to
upgrade it to 2.2.18. I have

I don't think so. I sent John my opinion via email bu

So, there is an option 'somewhere' to select the gzip or bzip2
footprint?
Can you show me the commandline? or point me to where I find those
compiler options?

Mark, this is a routine in the kernel Makefile that cleans up from a
previous compile so you start with a fresh workspace.

That's very interesting! I never knew you could do that. I think I will
give that a try.

But isn't the whole reason for compiling a new kernel so that you can
"reconfigure" the kernel more to your liking and needs rather than having
the new kernel configured exactly as the one you're currently running? Why
even bother if you're going to have it look the same. It will be doing

Um...I think it's a little more complex than that (unless something changed
in 7.2's kernel-source rpm)
What I did was download the kernel srpm
grab the config files out of that (forget where they are)
copy the kernel config file of your choice to
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/defconfig
make oldconf
Ok here's how it works. You'll need the .config file from the Mandrake install you
have. I forget offhand what dir it is in but I belevie it is /usr/src/linux. Copy
that file to the new source tree and the type make oldconfig. The new kernel will
only prompt you for items tht are new to the
Hello everybody:
I would like to compile a new kernel for the computer I use. Since I really
don´t know much about the configuration options the "make menuconfig" offers, I would
like to keep the configuration of the current kernel. How can I tell the "make
oldconfig" commnad where to
