Post #141,226 by pwhysall 2/11/04 5:56:32 PM Reply	No, it doesn't. AFAIK, the first distro to go with 2.6 as the default kernel will be Mandrake 10.0 Peter [link\|http://www.debian.org\|Shill For Hire] [link\|http://www.kuro5hin.org\|There is no K5 Cabal] [link\|http://guildenstern.dyndns.org\|Home Page - Now with added Zing!]

Just make sure you compile them against the same libraries with the same compiler. For example, my maintenance disks are based on kernel 2.2 because it's not as fat and leaves more room for goodies. -drl
Post #141,335 by pwhysall 2/12/04 3:08:24 AM Reply	Be aware, though... Running 2.6 means you need minimum versions of such things as modutils if smooth sailing is to be achieved. If you're going to add your own 2.6 kernel to a current distro, you'll have to read the documentation.

The [link\|http://www.distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=fedora\|Fedora Core Project] just announced beta of Core 2 with the 2.6 kernel. Have fun, Carl Forde
