Kernel question

Thu Jun 10 13:04:10 2004

David,
  Thank you for your help and your patience.  Lets assume I am able to
mount my Mac partition.  Where do I copy the kernel from?  I know it
will go to my system folder/extensions/linux kernel, but where is the
source location?

Jason

  Also in regards to the 2.6 kernel.  I cant seem to get into that site
right now, but assuming I am able to later on, do I need to do anything
special to prep my YDL 3.0.1 for the new kernel or is it just a matter
of copying the kernel to my mac partition exactly like I am now trying
to do with 2.4
