compiling mol, LyX etc

[Eric D]

Hi, I was just lazy and used the in-built version that came with 
YellowDogLinux 3.0.1. This afternoon I had an epiphany and realised that I 
was doing things the hard way.

I was going to try to rebuild MOL (which I probably should learn how to do 
anyway since I'd like to become more skilled at using Linux) to have 
mol-kmod match the kernel (vmlinux-2.4.22-2f).

What I did instead was match the kernel to the existing mol-kmod ;) (i.e. 
the one that ships with YDL 3.0.1). I took the 'vmlinux-2.4.22-2fsmp' file 
from /boot/ and e-mailed it to myself and installed it into System 
Folder:Linux kernels (I think that's the folder name) and booted it (this is 
on an Old Wolrd machine... on a New World machine you'd have to fiddle with 
ybin but you sound like you're pretty experienced).

PS I saw something out there that said that running a SMP kernel on a single 
processor machine was no different from running a single-processor kernel.

Anyway, the outcome of this is that I've "sort of" got it working on my 
machine. I can run startmol but now it's telling me that I should re-install 
OS 9 because it's an Old World machine (& the OS X can't find a bootable 
/hdx). Time to troubleshoot!

Eric.
