now, i'm frustrated...

someone could have answered you can not compile modules in 2.X...

You can compile them, but someone here is going to have to write a book-sized answer to your question.

I haven't done it myself, so I am not the right person.

But my suspicion is that someone will write a how-to and publish it here. No guarantees, though.

well, i hope that this particular someone would write it soon..
anyway, would you suggest that i should use 1.x, if i'll try to compile a module?

Your question is too generic.
If you are asking what does one need to add to base DSL to do such then I would suggest:

1. get gnu-utils.dsl and gcc1.dsl from the repositrory
2. get kernel sources from < here >
4. source typically placed under /usr/src
3. unpack your module source there

If your question is HOW to make a Linux module. Then that is a generic Linux question. Use google or many such sources pertaining to Linux in general.

yes, thanks for the reply. so basically with these tools i can compile a module on dsl 2.x but in this post

they are talking about gcc 3.3? how< gcc 3.3 >

so would gcc1.dsl woud still work on 2.x?

All versions of DSL are built from the above. i.e., using gcc1.dsl, gcc-2.95
