| |
Hi,
Say I have my actual kernel source in my /usr/src/linux. It s redhat Linux kernel 2.0.30. I download kernel source 2.0.34. I wanna recompile with new kernel souce 2.0.34, but I wanna make sure I m not deleting the old kernel, so in case of trouble, I can get back to the old one. How to ??( I remember someone asking me to execute "make clean" just before "make config" to do that..I dont see the relation with it..so, make that clear for me..pls..)
I also have 2 other questions: I) I wanna know the meaning of following command: cp /usr/linux-2.0.34/arch/i386/boot/zImage ./vmlinuz-2.0.34 ln vmlinuz-2.0.34 -S vmlinuz
II) The command rm -rf /usr/src/linux ..is probably not something i should do, if I really do not wanna get rid of anything ..
