INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
+------------------------+

Use upgradepkg to install the new kernel, kernel-modules, and alsa packages.
After installing the kernel-ide package you will need to run lilo ('lilo' at
a command prompt) or create a new system boot disk ('makebootdisk'), and
reboot.

If desired, a kernel from the kernels/ directory may be used instead.  For
example, to use the kernel in kernels/scsi.s/, you would copy it to the
boot directory like this:

cd kernels/scsi.s
cp bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-scsi.s-2.4.18

Create a symbolic link:
ln -sf /boot/vmlinuz-scsi.s-2.4.18 /boot/vmlinuz

Then, run 'lilo' or create a new system boot disk and reboot.

в один пост не уместилось

И зачем этот гемор? В слаке стандартные ядра пашут любых ветвей. Всё равно все ставят какие по вкусу.

Не обращайте внимание на тех, кто только Mandrake для показа своей экстраординарности поставить может и запостить дурацкую новость или скриншот на ЛОР, но для самого полного самоутверждения должен наехать на "слаководов".

Не случайно в "Специалисте.ру" Артур использует Slackware для обучение сборки ядер - ядра стабильных веток ГАРАНТИРОВАННО собирутся в Slackware.
