Certainly, a /boot dir is fine. While there are valid reasons one might
want /boot to be on a separate partition (perhaps you use a RAID

Btw, for those who are interested in getting the leanest kernel
possible, may wish to investigate compiling your own kernel; it's not
hard. I was surprised how "loaded" the precompiled kernels are. Of
course it makes sense, it needs to work with all possible hardware
configurations.

Perfect! Thanks.
FYI, the patch I want to apply is for adding the MPPE/MPPC kernel

Hi. Thank you Robert for your answer.
I need to apply a patch to the kernel. I don't want to use my own
configuration. Instead, I want to use the mandrake kernel configuraion
(as it is shipped in the CDs), apply the patch, and compile it.
Of course, I want to use this configuration with the man

Hi everybody!
I'm new to _this_ distribution of Linux. I would like to know where can
I get the .config files used to compile the precompiled kernels Mandrake
includes.
I got one kernel-source-.rpm, and tried to compile it, but I got
some problems. I don't know if this kernel was actually conf
