Very nice little guide, though I like "make menuconfig" much better since I stay out of X as much as possible while running Linux.

And since this is a site where many spoiled BeOS users stop by, how about adding instructions to patch the kernel with RML's preempt patches?

Androo, there was a link to the preempt patches in the article as well as generic instructions for patching the kernel.

Good article and while I'm commenting I might as well ask. Has anyone been able to compile the original (not alternate) usb uhci support? Every since 2.4.16 up to the latest pre patch, I haven't been able to finish a kernel compile with it enabled.

non of this make xconfig. Bleh. Two very nice simple files that all is needed is a hash out of particular lines.

then
config File
cd ../compile/file
make depend
make

Someone using a 286 Mon, 24 Dec 2001 21:39:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread? http://www.osnews.com/thread? ..how deficient is Linux compared to HP-UX and Solaris: in HP-UX the kernel compilation is seamless: set the parameters, and run two commands (without arguments). In Solaris it's even simpler, you just edit /etc/system and reboot. (actually, if you use a debugger intelligently, sometimes you don't even need to reboot, but that defeats the "ease of use" point).

Oh well. Back to Heroes 1. It's more fun than compiling a kernel, and the music is way better. Tue, 25 Dec 2001 12:09:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread? http://www.osnews.com/thread? "Oh well. Back to Heroes 1."
another person with a 286....

maybe I'm wrong but I seem to recall having heroes 3 about 2-3 years ago.. Wed, 26 Dec 2001 07:39:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread? http://www.osnews.com/thread? correct me if i'm wrong, but does solaris and hpux let users re-compile their kernels? i only know of RE-LINKING the modules, yes...but not re-compiling, as i did this with DEC OSF before.
