Slackware 11 & kernel 2.6.xx
When I install Slackware 11 from DVD can I install Kernel 2.6.xx at that time or do I need to upgrade it? Can someone help.

Kernel 2.6.x is already in slackware 11.0 it's called "huge" it contains a lot of drivers, you might want to do a kernel recompile to get rid of some of that bloat, that is if you are up to it.
|
It's called "huge26.s" exactly... and after you install your system and choose "huge26.s" when it asks you to choose your kernel go to the "extra" directory and install the "kernel-modules" and "kernel-source" too.
|
Slackware 11 also has the 2.6.18 kernel which I will be installing. Installation instructions are in the readme.txt on the first install CD of Slackware 11:-)
|
When you're installing, and you're ready to select what to install... if you choose 'expert', isn't it supposed to give you options as to what kernel to install? The reason I ask is because I only see 2.4.33.3...
Yes, it has been a long time since the last time I installed Slackware... |

Edit: Ok, I just realized where the kernel selection is made, never mind me. |

I just finished a clean install of 11.0 using the 2.6.17.13 kernel, I opted for huge instead of 2.6.18. Everything is working well. Thank you PV for an outstanding OS, you rule!!:D |
