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? -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

BTW, you don't have to use a distribution that called itself a server to set up a linux server. Any distribution would do. -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

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?

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. > RHEL5?

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. -- //Aho |
