[TriLUG] Newbie: Kernel Question

[Adalita Brown]

Hi there,

I have another kernel question.  As per Jeremy's recommendation, I've installed kernel 2.4.20-20.9.i686.rpm as well as kernel 2.4.20-20.9.src.rpm because I have a Pentium II machine (I've verified this in the /proc/cpuinfo).  Now, I would like to install the kernel source file and I am aware that there is none for i686.  Can I use the kernel-source-2.4.20-20.9.i386.rpm file?

Hi there,

I'm using RH9, kernel 2.4.20-8.  At this time, my linux machine has no connectivity to the Internet and not able to download the latest RPMs.  I would like to download the kernel 2.4.20-20.9 from the TriLUG FTP site but am confused which folder to select: i386, i586 and i686.  My OS kernel type is i686 and my CPU kernel type is i386.  Also, I'd like to know if I need to compile the kernel 2.4.20-20.9.
