I just started with gentoo, had to use the 2004.2 image since 2004.3 crashed at installtime on my machine (thinkpad 600X)... I used stage 2. Since then I succesfully installed a lot of apps like KDE and such, but my kernel is still a selfmade 2.4 one. Now I need to get my wireless cards working but I'd rather upgrade the kernel first for fear of doing things twice (or wrong) due to the changed pcmcia drivers. I think I correctly upgraded 2004.2 to 2004.3 but how do I check that to make sure? The machine did not do anything spectacular when I made that change, is that expected behaviour ? Now for the fullfillment of the transition to 2004.3 I need a kernel 2.6, right ? Can someone point me to the docs that detail that step cause I could not find that very well. Or do I just somehow get the sources and start compiling ? How do I make sure I retain my current kernel as a second boot option if the 2.6 kernel will not boot ? Thanks in advance, Maarten -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
