| Quote | | Are all kernels compiled the same way, independent of which distro you are running? |
Yes (if I remember correctly, some time since I last did it).
| Quote | Can the kernel be compiled on the running system, or does it have to be done "offline" (eg. a bootdisk, or livecd)
|
It can be compiled on a running system.
| Quote | | From my reading, I've determined that the kernel does not have to be compiled on the hardware it will run on. Is this true? |
Yes.
| Quote | | Skaos, this is for you... (or anyone that knows the answer) Your solution assumes that you are running a DOS based system as well. Is there a way to copy your kernel to the HD installed DSL without DOS intervention? |
If you boot via DOS there is no need to do this. If you want to use lilo for booting you have to copy the kernel to /boot in your Linux partition and then make sure that lilo uses this kernel (doesn't matter what it is called).
