Hi list, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm new to the list (and gentoo) but not to linux. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I just started with gentoo, had to use the 2004.2 image since 2004.3 crashed |
| 6 |
at installtime on my machine (thinkpad 600X)... |
| 7 |
I used stage 2. Since then I succesfully installed a lot of apps like KDE and |
| 8 |
such, but my kernel is still a selfmade 2.4 one. Now I need to get my |
| 9 |
wireless cards working but I'd rather upgrade the kernel first for fear of |
| 10 |
doing things twice (or wrong) due to the changed pcmcia drivers. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I think I correctly upgraded 2004.2 to 2004.3 but how do I check that to make |
| 13 |
sure? The machine did not do anything spectacular when I made that change, |
| 14 |
is that expected behaviour ? Now for the fullfillment of the transition to |
| 15 |
2004.3 I need a kernel 2.6, right ? Can someone point me to the docs that |
| 16 |
detail that step cause I could not find that very well. |
| 17 |
Or do I just somehow get the sources and start compiling ? |
| 18 |
How do I make sure I retain my current kernel as a second boot option if the |
| 19 |
2.6 kernel will not boot ? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Thanks in advance, |
| 22 |
