There may be an easier way to compile your kernel. At least,
that's the case for my Ubuntu-8.04.

RHEL5? That's really old.... why not use Fedora 9? I think
the latest version of RHEL is 8, right?

BTW, you don't have to use a distribution that called itself a
server to set up a linux server. Any distribution would do.

Aah..... I have used a bit of Ubuntu, one of the earliest versions, I cant
remember which one and also used RH9 and Fedora 6. Then for some time used
Suse 10. I merely wanted to try a few distros. To be honest, most of my work
is on Windows but I try to use as much Linux as I can. The issue with trying
Linux distros is that each time I have to let go of whatever data I have. So
far haven't figured out where to get it backed up.

The kernel installation was just one of my learning by trial and error
methods. Appreciate all help given to me.

BTW, a bit OT here. May I know why is your signature so big, large, huge?


Regards,

Arty

Fedora 9 maybe right version but RHEL is still at version 5. In some offices
RH 7, 8 and 9 are still strong and sturdy WITHOUT major issues.

I say it's as easy to compile a kernel, regardless of version,
distribution or architecture and there is always a chance for someone
who don't read properly to make a bad mistake.

No RHEL has a lower version numbering than the Fedora which is the devel
version of RHEL, if I remember it right RHEL5=FC8.

You are thinking about RH-series, where version 9 was the last one and
should be "the same as" RHEL2.
