Description

Prerequirements

At first Fedora Core 2 has to be installed. Ideally choose the userdefined installation method and choose the Kernel sources and Kernel development packages.

A current Kernel is at www.kernel.org

Linux installation

The file /boot/config has to be copied to /usr/src/linux and renamed to .config

cp /boot/config /usr/src/linux/.config

Afterwards the new kernel can be compiled with the (copied over) old configuration

cd /usr/src/linux
make oldconfig
make
make modules_install
make install

Restart Linux.

VDR installation

RPM packages
