Obviously that won't work for 2.4 to 2.6 kernels. You may be able to get away with using a config from a pre-compiled kernel which is not modified and then using make altconfig with the patched kernel. Really don't if that would work.Keep your working kernel around what ever you do. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ace" To: Sent: Friday, January 07, 2005 11:58 PM Subject: Kernel Compilation > Hello, > > I am running Slackware version 10.0 freshly installed.
