Release Candidates :: DSL v4.0rc5



I wish to compile a patched video driver to use with the 2.4.31 kernel in DSL4.0 - I've found some instructions here http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....2;st=10

I'm trying to figure out if the kernel setup is still the same as the 2.4.31 kernel from DSL2.1, found here ftp://ibiblio.org/pub....ces-2.1

Should I proceed with that, or is there some other source I should be looking at?

thanks,
Karl.

(background info - I have a T1010 thin client which needs a Geode Framebuffer patch applied.  Also, the USB port seems not to work, so I have stripped DSL down to console only so that I can pack it into the initrd and have kernel+initrd fit within the 8Meg internal flash - I've tested it under qemu and all is good - now I need the framebuffer working so I can see what is going on, on the real hardware, and figure out why it's not yet working there...)

Yes. That link is the sources for the kernel in 4.0.
doing by parts , as jack the ripper said

1) the grub menu in dsl hd install have loop to the menu  when type windows , there are # in the begin of lines to boot windows its ocurs in rc4.5 and in 3.4.4?

2) the mkisofs runs ok the problem is that i added a file of fonts  , i supoused, with no permisions, and the procedure crash , when i erased the file, its work fine..

3)I cannot re- reproduce, whether I moved it or copied it (Ctrl) both worked OK as robert said. when the problem return i will send a post..

i recover the faith in dsl and his apostles mick,robert and juanito..

There has been no change here.

At the end of a grub bootloader install, you are prompted if windows is in the first partition (/dev/hda1). If answered in the affirmative then the grun menu line is un-commented. Windows will appear in the boot menu.

This is a convience, as most older computers had windows installed in such fashion. Any other installation of Windows is left as an exercise for the user.

Un-comment the windows line and adjust drive partition per your system specs.

It's time. Thanks to all for have taken the time to test and provide ideas suggestions and feedback.
