Since you are a newbie, I'm going to suggest the easiest path possible.

The first thing, is you should install Fedora Core 2 as opposed to 
redhat 9.  The reason for this is that I build RPMs for Fedora Core 2.
After you have install Fedora Core 2 on your machines then download:

    iproute-2.4.7-14mpls_1_938.i386.rpm
    kernel-2.6.8-1.521mpls_1_938a.i686.rpm
    mplsadm2-1.938-1.i386.rpm

From http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpls-linux/ in the 'Files' area.

Then read http://www.dirac.org/linux/rpm.html
In particular you will want to 'upgrade' iproute-2.4.7-14mpls_1_938.i386.rpm
and 'install' mplsadm2-1.938-1.i386.rpm and
kernel-2.6.8-1.521mpls_1_938a.i686.rpm

After you have these RPMs installed and have rebooted to the new kernel,
then read the example on http://mpls-linux.sourceforge.net/

I hope this is enough info to get you started.  Please remember this
mailing list is for discussing mpls-linux related issues ;-)

Good luck

I suggest you to read through the docs which can be obtained by downloading
the mpls-docs package from the net and the kernel 2.6.18 RPM cannot be just
installed in Fedora 10 because of other dependencies its advisable to
compile the kernel and patch it with the MPLS patches and then you need to
download quagga and install it..

In case if you need help let us know.

Thanks,
Cheers,
Balaji

At this time I do not have RPM for a Fedora 10 system.  I'm
working at converting my development env to support Fedora 9 and 10.
Until that time I recomend sticking with Fedora 8 when building
a MPLS test bed.

Re: [mpls-linux-general] How to instal MPLS on linux Machine

Hi all, thx for the reply
i tried to install fedora 8 but i can't use my wireless card, (i have a
macbook1.1 with atheros chip that should be work with madwifi but i can't
use the wlan) i tried to install kernel-2.6.8-1.521mpls_1_938a.i686.rpm but
the kernel in fedora 8 is more update than this, so could you describe me
the installation process to install a kernel patch and where i can find the
mpls patch ?

i've got some doubt, probably because i am a newbie to linux:
-if is possibile to patch the kernel, this will work with another
distribution? maybe with ubuntu..where i can use my wireless card
-there is any help tutorial for mpls kernel implementation?
-are this the quagga files ? :

   - iproute_20041019-3.mpls.946_i386.deb
   - iproute-dev_20041019-3.mpls.946_i386.deb
   - linux-kernel-headers_2.5.999-test7-bk-17.mpls.946a_i386.deb
   - ppp_2.4.3-20050321+2.mpls.946_i386.deb
   - ppp-dev_2.4.3-20050321+2.mpls.946_all.de

Thx a lot !
Giuseppe

You can always access my development tree via 'perforce' (a revision
control system), see the 'Access to my development repository' section
of http://mpls-linux.sf.net for more info.

Since you are new to linux, you will probably want to avoid building
your own kernels though.  Maybe you should look at using netkit, which
allows you to build a virtual network using UML guests.

   http://wiki.netkit.org

Otherwise, your best bet is to wait until I finish build F9 and F10 RPMs.
