Judging by your last sentence, hold your horses, work your hands and
brain to bone and then take a deep breath and start compiling. If and
when you have the product fitting all your expectations, start enjoying
using it.

Have fun

Am I the only one, or did this thread suddenly get confusing?

In AOLS, if it isn't confusing, you haven't been paying attention.

That may be the reason it's 'prënënsst "ÂO-zee"'

Oh, well, er, don't read it :-)

There it is at/from google groups. It's one method with which to succeed at
getting started with kernel compiling. There I shared what I
know/have_experienced on this topic.

If you have a bit of patience and keep on learning, I find the Linux
experience to be very rewarding.

Slackware Rocks!

Abaft the beam on the starboard side . . .

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.o...rch+this+group

see there for more "abaft the beam" sorts of stuff.

** Hey people, we ain't even yet got started with making this thread be
confusing all of a sudden . . . **

And now, as I "make leave of the boot topping" I say:

Keep on navigating, Slackware!

A Road Sign that describes my vehicle says: Tie rod by so and so. Engine by
so and so. "Steering and Orienteering by Slackware"

Rather than a road map, we may sometimes navigate via a topographic map and
various creeks and streams and mountain tops. Oh, just to be out there
where there is no navigation via street intersections and traffic
lights . . .

Hmm this GPS nowadays. Never tried it.

whereas someone with truck, instead, say: keep on trucking

Later.

I remember RedHat as one of Linuxes in collection of various distros.
As mentioned above I was escaping from software that performed private
jokes behind my back, so RedHat was a very 'short' visitor, who showed
too close resemblance to MS-Glassware.
When the command prompt of Slackware opened on my screen I felt at home
and learned "the Unix way" in it. So I never looked back.( Not true, I
was window shopping around and nothing was so special as to convert to.)
BTW, I still have Win98SE (Hebrew variant) as I could NOT teach Linux to
write in it properly, it reads OK.

Have fun

A bit like; "If it ain't broke, you're not trying hard enough."

Ditto ...minus the Hebrew part.
