Upgrading the kernel

Hi,

If I am upgrading the kernel using the kernel source
rather then a rpm file, if I have a multiprocessor
machine and thus would have used kernel-smp...
thus since I am using the source I take it part of
the install allows you to configure for multi-processor
machines?

Thanks so much for your help!

Yeap!

The first section of the kernel config when you do a make menuconfig allows you to specify SMP support. For general kernel compilation info have a look at the howto: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html

cheers.

Jamie...
