Re: upgrade sarge from 2.0 to 2.6

I am presently running Sarge with the 2.4 kernel, but wish to upgrade to the

fallen short of the goal.

Any advice?

Tom
what I did was compiled the 2.6.11 kernel from sources then rebooted into the new kernel and upgraded packages, you need module-init-tools which i beleive replaces modutils..

So basically before you compile a new kernel you need new versions of this:

gcc libc6-dev module-init-tools bind86 I think thats it, I hope this makes sense.
