Slackware, The kernel

[nagchampa]

Who knows of some easy to read documentation on recompiling the kernel?

I need to add DHCP service and IPmasq and dont want to just RPM the stuff in...

Thanks

Also any news on redhad 7.2?

First, DHCP has nothing to do with the kernel.
You'll need to install an DHCP Client software to use DHCP.

You should first try the NHF about compiling a kernel. For IP Masqurading you have to use an utility (ipchains - kernel 2.2.x ; ipchains - kernel 2.4.x). You can just add the support for this things to your kernel...

Good luck... .

There's a brief tutorial at http://www.linuxplanet.com on how to setup DHCP on Linux. If you've installed dhcp.tgz then your box should be ready to go.

I've been told you need kernel 2.4.10 for the HPT370. I have the same setup but have not tried to get it to work yet. :mad:
