Hello,
I am an unfortunate soul in that I do not have to hard-drive
space to, 1) get the kernel source on my HD, and 2) let alone
compile it too. I am running the "Out of the dist disk" version
of 0.1, and experiencing numerous problems. I was hoping that
upgrading to (from what I am seeing) 0.2.2 would fix
some of the problems, but I can't do this because of HD space.
I was wondering, if it was possible to just transplant a new
version of the kernel, and if it's not possible, any other way
I could get 0.2.2 without having to recompile the kernel?
Some major problems are like not being able to use my
parallel printer, unable to ftp to own machine, and compilation
errors related to linking. If need be, I'll expand the problems
further in a different message, but I'd like to just see about
kernel upgrading for the time being.
Thank you all..
