Provided you have the sources installed, you can cd to /usr/src/linux and run make menuconfig, find the NTFS option and set it as "M" to compile it as a module. Then you should be able to run make clean dep bzImage modules modules_install to get your new module installed. It used to be that RH shipped with a /boot/config-$KERNEL_VERSION file, which was essentially a .config from a kernel compile...... I can't seem to locate the config file for the default kernel. If you had that you could cp it to the kernel source tree top dir and run "make oldconfig" and then run "make menuconfig" to use the menu interface to edit that and then do the compile steps I stated before (make clean dep bzImage modules) to build the whole works. But I'm not sure where the hell they hid that .config now. > I'm not sure how the Red Hat install works, but it seems to automagically > build modules of my sound card, network interface, etc. When building a > kernel from scratch, I'm sure that most of my machine-specific options are > not included; I want to make sure I don't miss anything when building a new > kernel. > > Is something like this possible? > > Thanks! > > Brandon > _______________________________________________ > Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > http://www.mn-linux.org > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list > -- Ben Lutgens System Administrator Sistina Software Inc.
