I'm writing this to everyone, not particularly Mark. Meaning this is not a reply to Mark specifically, just a reply to the question posed, with the intended audience being everyone.MU wrote:So I also would appreciate, if someone writes a howto for the current kernel.
If I could write an excellent howto, I would not do it. But, I'll make some comments about compiling.
Who compiled the Dingo 4.00 kernel? Frankly, I don't know, but think it was Barry. Moreover, who will compile the future kernels?
Two compiling considerations
- * Do you want to compile from scratch?
* Do you want to compile using the existing kernel options, and make modifications based on it?
Using the correct source code
- * you might have to rely on expert authoritative and informed
opinion, in this case Barry, and;
* and opt to ignore the README.txt file
It makes no mention of being the source code for 4.00.

All the modules from Puppy3 still work with this new kernel, only 'squashfs.ko' is changed.
In fact, I was surprised. I compiled the kernel in Dingo, which has a different compiler and glibc versions than Puppy3, but all the modules from Puppy3 still load without complaint.
