Linux 2.4.6 out today!*** Now with instrucitons for the newbies like me*****

Appears to be one or two fixes to ReiserFS and devfs. That's the most interesting things to me. Personally I would like to see XFS in the main kernel tree myself though. ReiserFS is nice and reliable but feels a bit sluggish to me. I've heard XFS is significantly faster.

Yummmy... Riser is very nice... I NO LONGER care if the power goes our right in the middle of a huge amount of disk traffic... zero chance for disk corruption.. very nice..

Its turned my keyboardless, monitorless server into something that keeps going without any intervention... I dont have it on a UPS(its in my home and im cheap), so sometimes if the power went out it would need to be manually fsck.... no more...it just starts right back up where it left off..
 
i have not had a chance to compile it yet, but i hope it helps me, since all my partition but swap are reiser.

I compiled it fine on a RH 7.1 box. Didn't even have to upgrade any of the other packages. Wonder when USB support for my HP 8200 external writer will finally be ready?
 
Instructions for Mandrake 8.0 but I am sure they will work pretty much everywhere:


1. Download the kernel (I dled the gz file 25 megs)
2. Unpack it and put it in the /usr/src folder and it will create a folder called linux
3. At command prompt type &quot;make menuconfig&quot; if it says that &quot;mcurses libraries not found&quot; search in your distro cd or on the web for the ncurses.rpm and install it.
4. Pick the options that you want, like usb, file system, etc et, many to choose from.
5. Type in &quot;make dep&quot; (sit back and let it run)
6. Type in &quot;make bzImage&quot;
7. Type in &quot;make modules&quot;
8. Type in &quot;make modules_install&quot;
