|My biggest problem turned out |to be replacing the kernel in the bin.tgz with the kernel that I had built. |It's a simple tar operation, but I had to find about 40 meg of free disk space |to work with the file! Another way to do this is to simply install the original bin-dist, and to install a fake one (only containing the modified kernel) afterwards. It will simply overwrite the kernel from the original bin-dist. |Now, what I would like to know is: are scancode 2 keyboards going to be |supported in 2.1, or will I have to go through this all again when I upgrade? I went through this with 2.0 and 2.0.5 :-( I know that pcvt is able to detect the keyboard type automatically, so in theory, it should be possible to have a boot-floppy and a bin-dist that both use pcvt, and work on all(?) systems. Unless there is a specific reason why pcvt can't replace the syscons driver of course... |Jeff Wilson |amazed to be running a great UNIX system on a little laptop with 4 meg of RAM! Wait until you get some more RAM in there, I went from 4 to 12MB, and that sure makes a big difference! Gert-Jan --------------------------------------------------------------------------- J.G.
