--Go here to download the kernel sources:

http://www.kernel.org/
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...2.4.29.tar.bz2
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...6.11.6.tar.bz2

--See my linuxtips site for further info on uncompressing and compiling the sources:

http://wolfrdr.tripod.com/linuxtips.html

--It needs some updating (I'd like to put the "distcc" stuff in there, for one) but here's a quick tip:

(Don't forget to chmod +x it)
BEGIN /usr/local/bin/distcc-enable
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Reg port is 3632 but 5902 is already firewall-ok on mybox

distccd --daemon \
 -a 10.0.0.0/8 \
 -p 5902 \
 --verbose \
 --nice 1 \
 --pid-file /var/run/distccd.pid \
 --log-file /var/log/distccd.log \
 -j 2

sleep 2
ps ax


# On REMOTE SIDE:
# export DISTCC_HOSTS='localhost red green blue'

# ** OR: ** Edit ~/.distcc/hosts
# (Format:)
# localhost p233:5902

# THEN:
## edit Makefile and change "CC=$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc" to end with "distcc"
##' make -s -j9 '

# If not edit Makefile, then:
# ' make -s -j9 CC=distcc '
--For more info, see ' man distcc '. It's not strictly necessary for kernel compiling, but it does speed things up quite a bit.

--As far as teamspeak goes, I have no personal experience; the best I can recommend is that you try installing a stable version.

' apt-get update && apt-get install teamspeak/stable ' or whatever. I can't find teamspeak in apt-cache, so you may have to download the latest sources, and/or send a bug message to the developers.

--Nice to have another Linux convert; welcome to the forum. Best of luck, don't hesitate to ask for help in the future.

no hardware architecture was specified! perhaps the kernal source code is not insstalled on this sustem, or the parth to the kernal sources is entered incorrectly.either your kernal sources contain invalid configuration rules or you just found a bug in the KDE kernal CONFIGURATOR"]

i really have no idea why this is happening i did a straight newbie install from the knoppix cd with auto detection of hardware etc, the basic isntallation which sets everything up for me.

i also have problems with teamspeak 2 it will not on any circumstance launch a sort of gui i click the teamspeak.bin file and nothing happens


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!! im a complete noob to linux and id like to learn and use it as my MAIN os i have no other os's on my computer
