Beginner Reading List
by Jenny_Hopkins＠toby-churchill.com 29 May '01

29 May '01

Go on then! After last night's flame, I thought you could all recommend me good books to read to tell me how basic things work. I'll then compile a little list and we could have it on the homepage for other beginners to consult. Next thing you know I'll run out of questions to ask and will be completely brilliant. I've got O'Reilly Running Linux. Any others? (Writing Linux Devices Drivers sounds well heavy stuff, David, and may well go above a newbie's head?) Jen.

If it's Free, you might be able to use one of the other sourceforge-code-based sites like savannah.gnu.org which are less overloaded, although sf is supposed to have good caching etc. -- MJR

While we're on matters kernel, has anyone got real suspend working on a desktop machine, either swsusp or APM? How??? -- MJR

Re: [Alug] RedHat 7.1 module compile problems

Knowing the supposed similarity of these two distros I have to wonder if there's a link. Anyone managed to recompile the kernel under 'drake 8? (PS: I hope this is the address I'm subbed from, apologies to the moderator if not). Richard

File systems and Kernel recompile
by David Freeman 25 May '01

25 May '01

I eventually bit the bullet and recompiled my kernel to version 2.4.4, and guess what, IT WORKED, well I was surprised Having done this I have some questions. 0)I missed a module out when I compiled the kernel, how do I compile just that module? 1)Would people recommend a 2.2 or 2.4 kernel for mission critical systems which need high availability? 2)What would people recommend in the way of journelling file systems? I think that was all. Thanks to all who advised me on my earlier kernel thread. Thanks D PS Mark: are all the admin messages archived in some shape or form? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
