well kinda, I'm using zipslack. I went to compile a driver after I installed the development and library packages, but when I did the "make" command (in this case it was "make pccard") it told me it that "/usr/src/linux/.config" could not be found. Upon further inspection I found that /usr/src/linux didnt exist at all. So where did all the kernel config information go? I found a file called "config" in /boot and I tried to make a symlink to it in "/usr/src/linux" but it was all for naught. I know there has to be a .config file somewhere, does anyone know where it is located in zipslack? or is the "/boot/config" file the same as ".config"? any help would be hot :) thanks

You need to find/download the kernel that you are using, and put it in /usr/src/linux, or if it downloads it like this /usr/src/linux2.4.21 make a symbolic link to that (ln -s /usr/src/linux2.4.21 /usr/src/linux)

It might help if you tell us what distro you are using as well, as you should have your kernel source on disk.

Or just search for it, using JL search:
kernel source

haha yeah. acctually it quite a nice distro 100mb, no BS, version of Slackware. All you have to do is unzip it to the root of a partition reboot, and viola... you're in linux. And you can install any Slackware package you want, so you can scale it up to a full install. and it runs on FAT32 partitions!


and to keep this forum comprehensive, I found the ansawer to my question here
