I'm a complete newbie on recompilation but I need to either patch or most
probably upgrade from 2.2.5 to 2.4.0 since I do not have USB support (I want
to buy an Epson stylus to go on this port) and no support for SCSI devices I
want to buy a CD-RW. I've downloaded the source for 2.4.0 but I have some
questions.
I assume I cannot patch things that are missing completely from 2.2.5, in
from 2.4.0 source?
Will gcc version supplied with RH6.0 be OK to compile 2.4.0 source?
Is it possible in recompiling to take the bits you want to keep in the
existing kernel? I'm worried I may not check a box in Xconfig and lose
somthing that works fine now.
If I put in SCSI support as Modules how do set these up so they run
automatically when required by the hardware/software? The pppd at the moment
which loads when required on my system.
Finally any advice on software for toasting and not coastin CDs would be
nice.
Hope this all makes sense. NH.
