Installed lernel-source-2.6.6 and kernel-headers-2.6.6-1 386 using kpackage. (edited from gozar's helpfull post)

cd /usr/src
tar xjf kernel kernel-source-2.6.6.tar.bz2
rm linux
ln -s kernel-source-2.6.6 linux
cd linux
mrproper (command not recognised Gozar?)

cp /boot/config-2.6.6 ./.config
export CC=gcc-2.95

make

(**** help, i thoghut copying the knoppix kernal config would mean all questions would have been settup as per the orriginal knoppix kernel copile, but no, it asks ....

486 emulation (X86_EMU486) ?
Local APIC support on uniprcessors (X86_UP_APIC)?
IO-APIC support on uniprocessors (X86_UP_IOAPIC) ?
SCSI media changer support (CHR_DEV_SCH)?
Enable /dev/psaux device by default (INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX_ENABLE)?

everything else has been answered by the script, i answered yes to the questions it still asks above, but i would like to know how the knoppix kernel was compiled exactly.


Download Nvidia driver from http://www.sh.nu/download/nvidia/
(2.6 kernel drives now in root of this page, older drivers in sub dirs)
/etc/init.d/kdm stop

export SYSSRC=/usr/src/linux

cd to where you downloaded the nvidia driver
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run

*** here's the flaw

nvidia : version magic '2.6.6 preempt 386 gcc-2.95' should be '2.6.6 SMP preempt 386 gcc-2.95'

stops compiling..

(thinks... checks) right, i'd forgotten that i HAD seen SMP packages on kpackage to download but ignored them as id don't run SMP here....

arg... double checked kpackage, the SMP sources are seperate packages entirely, ! but the 2.6.6-386-SMP packages aren't there! :o(

help ?
