whats 2006 like? what kernel is it using?...just curious! :unsure:

My keyboard's got a button that makes the tea, and its got numbers and a alphabet so there!

Yin i thought you would of give up on me by now..lol I've just bought my 30" lcd tv today so i have to get this tv card of mine running dammit or, dare i say it.. its back to media center... (excuse the language) lol Your Last Commands gave me this below: Password: [root@192 ~]# cd /usr/src/linux [root@192 linux]# find . -name bzImage -print ./arch/i386/boot/bzImage [root@192 linux]#

I loved them old computers, i use to have the biggest collection of pirate games that i copied on my dads twin cassette tape deck, and then id sell them on so i could get the money to buy guns and ammunition to take over the world...maybe not, to buy my next game even! Rightfully i should be a millionaire now, cos i was about 9 then.

to be hoonest i cant remember, don't quote me on it but i think it was : cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.13-perso whats the perso bit anyway? lol I'm using the most recent Mandriva 2005 le i feel so stupid ,. i swear i've been using pcs for year, since the zx81 with the expansion pack lol, bbc computer, commodore vic20 , 64 and even amstrads and sinclair 128+ i should be a guru of this linux thing but to be honest 'i've never looked into it til now. i've only ever known Microsoft.. The Dark Side!!!! But i can gladly say i've only ever bought 1 original licenced copy, and that was just this year lol woohoo... i don't even feel bad. But now i've seen the light... ok not quite, not til i've set up my DVB Tv Card lol, but almost!!

All went fine up until these lines : cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.13-perso cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.13-perso mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.13-perso.img 2.6.13-perso said something about directory not found

ok..just got back from work....damn long day i've had, Boohoo!! Anyways, im going to hunt for the one you said, and give it a go, but this time with feeling Thanks again!!

i log in as root, start to follow your commands step by step... and before i get anywhere i end up with this Password: [root@192 ~]# cd /usr/src [root@192 src]# rm -f linux [root@192 src]# tar xjf /home/ukez/patch-2.6.13.bz2 tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [root@192 src]#

Thanks guys

You guys are brilliant, i'll give it a shot in a bit... if you dont hear anything back from me its probably becuase ive f'd my computer lol up. i wont let that bother me, if all systems fail i'll just reinstall and try again.. may the force be with me!! :unsure:

Ok, so could you explain how i could add this to my original kernel please, if possible. im trying this as im told my lr6650 dvb card will only work on the updated kernel

Can anyone explain to me how to update the mandriva kernel to version 2.6.13? Ive downloaded a patch from the linux kernel archives but it doesnt explain how to execute the patch, can anyone help! patch file name is (patch-2.6.13) from www . kernel . org thanks! Moved from Installing Mandriva by theYinYeti. Welcome aboard!

Brilliant im up and running.. just curious, but does that ndiswrapper work on other windows drivers...other than just networking cards? how about dvb cards? oh, thank you for your help by the way!

I'll check that out and get back to you! do you reckon that will work then?

Whats the basic command line to install ndiswrapper from the terminal window, please dont send me to another link, just type it here i beg you..lol please before i kick my pc up and down my street.... [moved from Software by spinynorman]
