Hi ,
guess im becoming a regular here
Anyway to all those that have helped so far , thanx a million.
Now im busy fiddling with the kernel
Im currently running 2.4.22-10
What i want to know is is it possible for me to upgrade all the way to 2.6 as i have downloaded the following sources and am not to clear on how to patch and upgrade etc
im running on a 56k modem so i dont want to use the update site it will take way to long
this is what i downloaded so far from another location with 256k line
linux-2.4.22.tar.bz2
patch-2.4.23.bz2
patch-2.4.24.bz2
also
linux-2.6.0.tar.bz2
i know i have to unzip the sources into the linux directory
so do i unzip 2.4.22 into a directory
then unzip the first patch into the same directory (replacing files ??)
then follow this with the second patch (replacing more files ??)
and finally recompile
Or can i go straight to 2.6 ??
im not to sure on how to go about this , am reading manuals at the moment , but if there is someone with firsthand experiance and you feel up to some typing
shoot
thanx
