Kernel

y00b · 01-08-2005, 08:37 PM

I'm trying to use ndiswrapper with mandrake, and I need to make sure the kernel I'm using is at least 2.6.0 or 2.4.20 or update my current one. I also need to to have the sourdce, and a link from the modules directory to the source.

How can I tell what kernel I'm running now? How can I update to one of the above, and what is/or how can I make sure I have the source on my computer?

There's no rush to answer these, but if you can help me out I'd appreciate it, thanks.

If you want to know the kernel you're running, do uname -a. Part should say something '2.6.9' or something like that. That's your kernel version. If you want to know if you have the source installed, run at the command line 'ls /usr/src'. If there's a folder called something like 'linux-2.6.9', you have. If you don't, download it from http://www.kernel.org.

Uname -a shows that I have Kernel 2.6.3, it says literally Linux Kernel 2.6.3-7.

I don't have the source, and I've looked but can't find it at that site is there any other way to get it?
