Hi all,

What exactly is wrong with 2.2.15 anyway, I was just about to upgrade mine?
Bye the way, (I am - I suppose a newbie) I only have 1 and a half years of
LINUX experience.

When upgrading the kernel from a previous version as opposed to compiling
normally what steps have to be done to prevent it from failing outright?

Is this correct and am I missing anything.
After decompressing and copying to /usr/src/linux

1. make mrproper
2. make menuconfig
2. make dep clean bzImage
3. make modules
4. make modules_install
5. cp System.map /boot
6. cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage

Am I missing anything? I have just gotten my SAMBA server to work correctly
with no issues and don't feel like reconfiguring all.

As I said, I'm a newbie.

Regards
Conor.

        2.2.15 ain't the best, from what I understand.
