Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Hi,
I compiled the 2.2.6 kernel on RedHat6.0 but I forgot to enable Vfat and Msdos filesystem. I have already compiled the kernel. Is there any way to enable that option in the kernel.
I can't view my dos partition as such.
Which, although may sound like a bad thing, but if that's the only thing you want to change, won't be a big deal at all. All the setting should be just as you left it, as long as you don't run 'make mrproper' before 'make whateverconfig'
Then just copy over the kernel, rerun lilo and there ya go.
OK, I've never really thought about this, so I'll just throw it in here for you all to discuss...
If you compile a kernel with, say vfat_support=n (or whatever), then you change the config file so that vfat_support=m, and then make modules && make modules_install, without recompiling the kernel itself, would you be able to insmod the vfat module even though the kernel itself did not have module support for vfat? (Try saying all that after a few beers )
Yes, it should work if you do "make menuconfig" (do the changes) and then "make dep", "make modules" and "make modules_install" followed by "depmod -ae".
