| Quote | | This should be the best solution because you'll get the same release of gcc-2.95 that dsl's kernel was compiled with. Modules are only ever supposed to be compiled with _exactly _ the same gcc version as was the kernel. |
This is quite feasible on DSL, and juanito has even posted an extension for 2.95 in mydsl.

If./configure allows a pointer to the sources on the hd this is fine, otherwise I've tried editing the Makefile to point at same (doesn't always seem to work).
A problem with compiling from the livecd is that Knoppix 3.4's /usr tree is not writeable (no unionfs), so you can't symlink /usr/src/linux-2.4/.26 to your sources, which means /lib/modules/2.4.26/build is not linked to the sources either.
I have tried doing a mkwriteable type of thing on the /usr tree but ran out of ram ... a hd install of knoppix would be altogether easier. |
You could try a symlink from /usr/src/linux to somewhere on a hdd, etc. But yes, it would be more elegant if you can use change it during configure time.
