I'm having trouble making sense of this sentence. You will not need to install EVERYTHING from Redhat just to compile a kernel, you will at least need the developer's tools. If you install those tools on one system, you can configure and build a kernel there for another system and then move the built kernel and it's associated modules to another system that is not "fully installed". > after installing modutils i can't understand what this is used for.. > even i went through tldp man pages.. they just covered a little.. but > surely nor for a novice kernel installer... modutils is used for handling kernel modules (drivers that can be installed and removed fomr a running kernel) in the Linux kernel version 2.4. The Linux kernel version 2.6 uses module-init-tools. -Andy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
