Confused Kernel on FC2?
 

I have a kernel installed on my Fedora Core 2 system that uses 8k stacks
2.6.6-1.427.8kstacks


Now that nVidia released graphic drivers that support 4k stacks, I am really confused what the most stable, up to date kernel is and how to install it...

Sorry for the newby question but I installed the 2.6.6-1.427.8kstacks via RPM so do I need to remove the RPM kernel and then update it or how does this all work?

Re: Confused Kernel on FC2?
 

You could actually go in and rebuild and recompile the kernel (if you have the kernel sources installed), and there is a section to choose between 4k or 8k stacks. Rebuilding and recompiling a kernel is not really something I would recommend for newbies though. I don't suppose you can get your hands on a Fedora Core 2 kernel already pre-built for 4k stacks can you?

sorry but that seems way to complex for my newb status

Do you use APT and Synaptic for package management?

I use the apt-get utility to install s tuff if that is what you mean...

Synaptic is a graphical package management program using APT. It
provides the same features as the apt-get command line utility with a
GUI front-end based on Gtk+

It graphically shows you all of the packages you have installed, and all that are available for your system (including kernel modules, etc).
