I've gotten the 2.4.3 kernel compiled, and made modules even though I did get about four errors at the finish. I'll list those later. Only thing I did differently this time in my procedure is used xconfig instead of menu. Still don't understand what went wrong the in the menuconfig. Still had something to do with sysctl_ipx_pprop_broadcasting. Anyhow will just have to fool with it later.
When in xconfig there were numerous options that were grayed out, but in menuconfig I remember being able to select them or not. What's this all about?
My previous kernel was original installed kernel with my Mandrake 7.2. With this new kernel I didn't see any selection for DHCP (which my dsl uses for IP), and therefore I selected BOOTP and RARP, not knowing if this would work or not, but did not and timed out on boot up. How do I resolve this?
Also one last. My previous kernel stated it was a 'secure' kernel. What exactly is this? Secure from hacking?
