[Trinux-talk] adding new kernel to boot disk

[windham l. <mst...@ho...>]

How would one remove an old kernel say 2.4.5 from an existing bootdisk and 
replace it with a newer (2.4.19) kernel? i've tried using
dd if=/newkernel of=/dev/fd0
and such but it seems to wipe my entire bootdisk...
also how would i go about creating my own trinux.img file?

They are VFAT (MS-DOS). Just replace the bzimage file.

within Trinux

# fmount  (or mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /floppy)

# cd /floppy

# fumount


I attached a 2.4.19 ide kernel (copy this to the boot floppy and rename it
to bzimage)

I'll also put one in http://devel.trinux.org/kernel/2.4.19/

Regarding a previous post asking for EXT3 support.

The ext3 packages should be in the kernel package
http://trinux.sf.net/pkg/2.4.19/linux-fs.tgz

#getkpkg linux-fs
