Good article. I've partly pimped my Slack with that kicker background/menu button thingy.

[howto] Compile 2.6.31 Kernel in Slackware 13.0

I just created a new symlink for the new kernel modules, that's step is not really necessary as I'm using the older rc.modules itself.

I compiled a 32bit kernel, so for a 64bit kernel, you must use your own config, you can use one from the existing kernel .config in your /usr/src/linux directory. The rest of the process is same, just instead of copying the bzImage from i386, you should do it from x86.
cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage

Atleast that's what I know since I don't really use a 64bit system, even though I have a core2 cpu, I like 32bit.
Hope this helps you.

[howto] Compile 2.6.31 Kernel in Slackware 13.0

question about removing and re-linking /etc/rc.modules

Very good tutorial. Two questions though:
1. At the end you recommend doing:

Code:

 # cd /etc/rc.d
    # rm rc.modules
    # cp rc.modules-2.6.29.6-smp rc.modules-2.6.31-pdg
    # ln -s /etc/rc.d/rc.modules-2.6.31-pdg /etc/rc.d/rc.modules

Is this necessary? I assume this is done to assure that the modules for the new kernel are loaded instead of the modules for the default 2.6.29-smp kernel. The reason I ask about this is because Alien Bob's guide does not mention doing this:
http://alien.slackbook.org/dokuwiki/...rnelbuilding&s[]=compile&s[]=kernel

2. Also, is the process the same if you are compiling a kernel on 64 bit Slackware?

	Easy Arch linux Setup Guide [USB included] Thanks a lot for the appreciation Brian. It was more of a basic guide to get a working Desktop ready.

	Easy Arch linux Setup Guide [USB included] A good concise guide. I was thinking of installing Arch during my distrohopping days, and printed the official guide, but never got round to doing it. If distrohoppomania strikes again, I'll refer to your guide as well as the official one.
