Hi people

I have just installed Mandriva 2005 LE.

In previous versions of mandrake I have always recompiled the source RPM as described here :- http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?s...=4596&hl=srpm.

I normally did a recompile when a kernel update was released.

I have just tried by getting the source rpm for the kernel that comes with Mandriva 2005 (kernel-2.6.11.6mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm).

When I goto install the athlon-kernel I get the messages that there are conflicts, this is due to me installing a kernel with the same name as the one installed.

I was advised

"Normally you change a string in the kernel's makefile so instead of being "kernel-2.6.11.6mdk" you have "kernel-2.6.11.6leg" for example."

How can I change the makefile using the following technique for recompiling?

rpm --rebuild --target YOUR_ARCH kernel.VERSION.src.rpm command.

Shall I install the source rpm?

Any help would be great.

Cheers
