I think ax25 is there by default, but mkiss support isn't. After you've done your "make config" and "make dep" use "make bzImage" and you may end up with a kernel small enough to fit on a floppy if you haven't turned on too many features during the config process. Look for a file called bzImage in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot. If you're gutsy, you can just edit the .config file manually and turn on mkiss support there rather than going through the "make config" process. It does the same thing and you don't have to answer the config questions for 15 minutes. 73, Jeff N0WJP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wilbert Knol" To: Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2004 9:53 PM Subject: Re: Just installed RedHat 9 > > > I just installed RedHat 9, and am trying to recompile the kernel to > > include support for amateur radio.
