I would like to compile the latest kernel for Mandrake

[bdt]

Hi yall. Where can i find the latest kernel source for mandrake? I had some readme the other week which had an ftp site to go and get it, but I cant find that any more. I am now very frustrated. Well, I would apreciate any help or heads up on building a kernel and making it bootable.

Get it from

http://kernel.org.

I answered this same question for you in thread619-437096.

I believe the latest stable one is 2.4.20.

Thanks Tom. Could you tell me if the different distro's like Mandrake run a modified version of the kernel or if they all run exactly what you have linked. The reason I ask is because I was reading something that led me to believe they do, however, I cannot find what I was reading :/ Thanks again Tom for being patient and kind to a newb.

The config file necessary to configure your kernel the way Mandrake has it configured is in /boot. Load it when you do make xconfig or make menuconfig. To my knowledge, they haven't actually modified the source code. In any event, I compiled the new kernel in my Mandrake install and it worked fine... just got to get automount working again!
