[seul-edu] Update to Lean and Clean
Dear Seul Friends:
Thanks, all, for your suggestions regarding the compilation of my kernel.
(Thanks Ray, the "make install" works well.) I have now been successful in the
process, reducing the size. I can still reduce further, however I am using a
trial-and-error approach because I do not know the chipset in these machines,
and I do not yet know what all the goodies in the kernal selections are.
My used memory (-/+ buffers/cache) is now down to 6852. More to go.
Since I have 20-ish more of these machines, I am wondering about the best way to
transfer the new kernel. I have thought of copying it straight over; or
copying the kernel and other necessary files; copying the kernel during
installation; or re-compiling the kernel on each machine. Surely, this last
solution is unnecessary. I not sure how to best proceed, though.
I thought this was probably something you people did all the time! Any
suggestions to smooth the process?
(I am using Slackware 7.1, Linux 2.2.16)
Thanks!
