Re: kernel 2.4.7 questions
I didn't have to do anything special except the shm filesystems to the
fstab:
none /dev/shm shm defaults 0 0
just compiled the kernel with normal options, install, lilo and reboot.
As per the updates, that'll be a little uglier. At work do you have access
to a burner? Maybe mirror a mirror, burn, take home, and make a deb file
entry?
