So, is this ok - succinct kernel build.
So -- this is what I've got:
I Installed the source to 2.6.3-15 through Mandrakes ?drak install GUI.
I logged out - back in, opening konsole.
su -
cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
make menuconfig
make bzImage -- I should do this step, ey?
make modules
make modules_install
make install
mkinitrd /boot/initrd---my version--img --myversion--
(mkinitrd -k vmlinux-VERSION -i initrd-VERSION)
$ cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-KERNEL_VERSION
$ cp System.map /boot/System.map-KERNEL_VERSION
$ ln -s /boot/System.map-KERNEL_VERSION /boot/System.map
Now -- I should be good to go, ey.
When I reboot from here, mandrake will configure lilo for me, the entry will be there when I reboot, I should be able to boot into the lean mean kernel I just built???
Must I run xf86config before I reboot?
