Almost out of the wilderness. My total newbie status will be confirmed
with these questions:
I succesfully made it through step 13 in Jamie's process.
1) Where are the "new" System.map and vmlinux files referred to in step
14. Within the filesystem I found a Makefile in usr/src/linux.... that
looked similar in appearance and content to the System.map file in
/boot. I did not find anything in /usr/src/linux.... quite like the
vmlinux file that was in /boot. Where are these new ones? (copying is
not a problem once i find them.)
2) Also how does one add a new yaboot.conf entry? I booted off a Yellow
dog disk.
Same with run ybin to update the bootloader. Any info about these three
steps will be greatly appreciated.
btw... at times I am tempted to think that linux is a hoax on newbies
that forces us to learn linux and unix, thereby creating a stronger and
more knowledgeable community (unlike windows - in which, if all one
knows how to do is insert a disk, then user loyalty is diminished.) ;)
although, i have to admit, that i have had more fun at the command line
than i have had using any applications. at least so far.
thanks,
john
