to see version release and arch of installed kernel packages
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ rpm -q kernel --qf "%{NAME} -%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} compiled
for %{ARCH}\n"
kernel -2.4.18-17.7.x compiled for athlon
kernel -2.4.18-19.7.x compiled for athlon
to see which one is running:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ uname -a
Linux bretsony 2.4.18-19.7.xcustomW4L #1 Tue Jan 14 20:36:08 CST 2003 i686 unknown
btw,
rpm --querytags
will give you a list of all the fields that can be used in --queryformat
(--qf) statements
the configs for each arch are in the kernel source at
/usr/src/linux-2.4/configs. Copy the one you want to .config in the
root of the source tree and you are jammin.
