[ext2resize] Installing a System from scratch

[Louis B. <lou...@da...>]

HI,

         I am a newbie in this mailinglist i subscribed to it for the=20
following reason :
                 How can i install ext2resize after a fresh system=20
installation ?

         I installed a new box with RedHat 8.0, ( 2.4.18-14 )
         Software Raid for 4 disks
         LVM ontop of the raid
         and i want to be abble to resize the fs on in a Volumegroup ( like=
=20
AIX )
         i tried to find out how to patch the Kernel :
                 cd /usr/src
                 ln -sf linux-2.4.18-14 linux
                 cat=20
/packages/DCE_V80/all/ext3patch/online-ext2-2[1].4.18.diff | patch -p0
                 ln -sf linux-2.4.18-14 linux-2.4.18
                 cat=20
/packages/DCE_V80/all/ext3patch/online-ext3-2[1].4.18.diff | patch -p0
                 cd linux-2.4.18
                 make mrproper
                 make menuconfig
                 [ selection in the Tree of Filesystems, then select ext2=20
resize and ext3 resize then save the new config ]
                 make dep
                 make
                 make bzImage
                 make modules
                 make modules_install
                 make install
                 [ edit /etc/grub.conf and change the default kernel boot=20
option to 0 so the new inserted kernel will be the default ]
                 reboot
         but i suppose that there will be a shorter way to just patch the=20
kernel for ext(2)(3)online ?

         Thanks for any help and/or confirmation
