precompiled kernel
 
Hi, i'm searching for a site where i find some precompiled kernels.
Any suggestions?

Why do you want a precompiled kernel other than the ones on the Slackware disks ?
I've never looked for a precompiled Slack kernel but I didn't see precompiled Slackware kernels anywhere except the ones on the official Slackware site/mirror.

If you download a precompiled kernel, be aware that you download it from a site which you can trust. Two reasons for that:
- backdoors
- quality

And compiling a kernel from sources yourself isn't that hard :)

Yes i know that (backdoor trojans...etc) but Way copile a new kernel when all i need is bridging enabled, (and i got a amd k6 II 350 and takes forever to compile)?

It's better to compile your own kernel.............and customize it to YOUR
system......IE--Mobo, video/sound, chipsets, etc...........

It may take a while on your box, BUT if you go into the
/usr/src/linux<version>/Documentation directory........find something that
interests you and start reading..........alot of good info in that directory!!

look through here at the individual kernel's by going to their folder and opening the config. and see if they have what you want is all I can suggest.
