compiling a 2.6.x kernel

[M.W. Chang]

Finally got sendmail working happily under under Novell SuSe 9.1 (which 
is using glibc-2.3.3 and linux-2.6.4).

Wanting to try compiling a 2.6.8 kernel.

How will it differ from my experiences with 2.4.26 kernel?

# a script I copied from the list:

ver="2.4.26"
ln -s /usr/src/linux-$ver /usr/src/linux
cd /usr/src/linux-$ver
ls
if make -j3 dep &&\
    make -j3 clean &&\
    make -j3 bzImage &&\
    make -j3 modules &&\
    make -j3 modules_install
then
   cp -f /usr/src/linux-$ver/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-$ver
   cp -f /usr/src/linux-$ver/System.map /boot/System.map-$ver
   cp -f /usr/src/linux-$ver/.config /boot/config-$ver
   cp -f /usr/src/linux-$ver/.config /home/scripts/config-$ver
   cd /lib/modules/$ver
   depmod -a $ver -F /boot/System.map-$ver
   date
fi
