Hello everyone, Now that Kernel 2.6 is out, and there winter break is here, I am planning on compiling myself a new kernel. I have tried the 2.6 test kernels before, and have compiled other kernels, so I am comfortable with the compiling (mind you, 2.6 makes compiling so much easier). I have one question: should I use the generic kernels from kernel.org, or the unofficial Redhat kernel source packages. I find the Redhat packages work with slightly fewer bugs (and dependancies are sorted out with apt-get very nicely), so is there any reason to use the generic kernels? Also, I want to switch to DevFS. I have tried using DevFS under the 2.6 test kernels, but I had many problems with the format of the /etc/modprobe.conf file and such (had to get the new modutils and all). Is there any guide for DevFS written for 2.6? Thanks. Anton Markov -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
