MOL & kernels

Fri Feb 13 11:45:02 2004

Thanks.  I'll give it a shot, and see how it works.  Hopefully I can 
get it going with 2.4.24 kernel,
as this one works good with hfsplus too.

>>First of all You must take two files from yellowdoglinux.com or any other YDL

>>mol-0.9.69-1a.src.rpm
>>mol-kmods-0.9.69-1.2.4.22.2d.src.rpm
>>Login as ROOT and remove MOL from your system:
>>rpm -e mol
>>rpm -e mol-kmods
>>Check that folders are EMPTY ( /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES and 
>>/usr/rpm/src/SPECS ) if
>>Not - clear inside

>>rpm -ihv mol-0.9.69-1a.src.rpm
>>rpm -ihv mol-kmods-0.9.69-1.2.4.22.2d.src.rpm
>>If O'k - It create files *.spec for Mol in /usr/src/rpm/SPECS and SOURCE in

>>cd /usr/src/rpm
>>rpmbuild -ba SPECS/mol-0.9.69-1a.spec
>>rpmbuild -ba SPECS/mol-kmods-0.9.69-1.2.4.22.2d.spec
>>If O'k - It create new RPM files of MOL for your KERNEL in /usr/src/rpm/RPMS:
>>cd /usr/src/rpm/RPMS
>>rpm -i mol-kmods-0.9.69-1.2.4.22.2d.rpm
>>rpm -i mol-0.9.69-1a.rpm
>>Now you must adjust video for MOL and after this can start MOL:
>>molvconfig
>>startmol
>>or
>>startmol -X
