Precompiled rpms of 2.6.3

[samwichse]

Ok, I'm going to post them once more, for two reasons:

1) Using google, these seem to be pretty much impossible to find.

2) Searching the Linux/Unix forum for the topic "redhat kernel" yields 0 results. (I had to dig through to about the 12th page to find these again)

They seem to be "universal," so enjoy!

There are also .src.rpms for the lazy compiler:

Nice find Sam .

Searching of the Linux and Unix forum doesn't work. I have complained about this time and time again. I have been told multiple times that it was going to be fixed, yet nothing has ever happened.

Yep jkrohn, I started a thead about this like 1 or 2 weels ago, I also PM a mod about it he told me that they are trying to solve the problem. It's a shame that the searching doesn't work in this forum there are some really good threads out there that are being asked again and again, like for example the "How to install NVIDIA drivers?" or "Which Linux?",etc. I've seen some very good threads that some times I want to check out but I just give up since searching through pages is a little tedious . Guess we'll just have to wait and see my friend , but this problem has been going on for a long time I think even when this forum started .

[jkrohn]

Yeah, it has been the entire time this forum was in existence.

One thing we *may* want to do if you guys are up for it. Look through all the old threads and find the ones people look for. (How to install NVIDIA, which linux, etc) and either
1) Put them all on individual sticky threads
2) Put them all in one sticky thread with titles that could be searched, possibly keywords.

So I could just download This: kernel-2.6.3-2.1.196.i686.rpm file and run it on Mandrake 9.2 and it should just work?

[samwichse]

As far as I know

If it doesn't:

rpm -e

Cool well I guess ill try it sometime later, still sounds to easy though nothing in Linux ever just works for me, so i think ill wait till I can take a good backup first.

Hey jkronhn sounds good to me, BTW Sam didn't mean to do any thread crapping . Maybe we should start a new thread under this topic, to see who's up for it.
