Actually, I was curious. I downloaded the 2.4.19 kernel source from kernel.org, and built it on a machine running 7.1. gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-85) tar -xvzf linux-2.4.19.tar.gz cd linux-2.4.19 make mrproper cp ../linux-2.4.18-17.7.x/configs/kernel-2.4.18-i686.config .config make oldconfig make dep && make bzImage && make modules Built the new kernel with no difficulty. Mark asked for proof that it works, I'm convinced. ;) - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9yltVn/07WoAb/SsRAvvZAJ472G9XEbGGBeerzkf7M2AB9ZYwLgCcDj4a R0E4nMbHr1JNlJsAdPFRjIc= =zyxO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
