Updating kernel
Hello, I'm trying to update the kernel in the 3.6-B DVD to 2.6.11, and I tried just building it from the source and failed miserably because I'm a total noob. So I was wondering if there's any way I can just install it from the 3.9 CD? Could I just install 3.6-B DVD on my hard drive and then install 3.9 over it? Would that work? Or could I maybe install the 3.9 CD and then use the install software while running from disc command on the 3.6-B disc? Or is there some command that I could put into the console that would install the kernel for me?
Thanks

you could go over to the debian site, because knoppix is debian based... and actually download it from there... www.debian.org...
I'll give you a direct link there...
http://packages.debian.org/stable/base/
or you could try apt-get in a shell... but i dont know the exact code for that... hopefully i have been of some assistance...

I just want to be able to easily install the latest kernel. I tried getting 2.6.11.11 off kernel.org, and I followed a guide that showed me how to configure it and compile it and all that, but that didn't work at all, I probably screwed it up because there were tons of errors on the final step. So I guess what I'm looking for is some way to automatically install the 2.6.11.11 kernel. Maybe some script?
Thanks

Kanotix has a script for kernels but AFAIK they aren't compatible with knoppix. How did you compile the kernel? Something like this?:
Ctrl-Alt-F1
login as: root
init 3 (not needed, but frees some memory for compiling)
cd /usr/src
dselect update
apt-get install linux-kernel-headers (removes the knoppix version)
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern....11.11.tar.bz2
tar xvjf linux-2.6.11.11.tar.bz2
rm linux
ln -s linux-2.6.11.11 linux
cp /boot/config-2.6.11 linux/.config
cd linux
make oldconfig (hit enter for default answer on questions)
make menuconfig (leave out unneeded stuff for your computer)
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --append-to-version=-110605 kernel_image (use any date or name)
..
dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.11.11-110605_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
mcedit /boot/grub/menu.lst (check the added part)
reboot to new kernel
