2.4.20

[nikhil]

Hi,

I have a redhat 9 with kernels 2.4.20 and 2.6.0
If i copy the config-2.4.20-8 file to /usr/src/linux2.4/.config
and run a
make config
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

Will this overwrite my /lib/modules/2.4.20-8 directory all over again, since it already exists. is it ok if I perform the above steps again, will it overwrite any previous 2.4 settings?

Thanks,
Nik

im not sure why u want to run make config when u jsut copied a (supposedly) good config file across? i guess it doesn thurt to double check.

this will overwrite any modules that already exist but i dont htink it will delete any that do not get replaced (eg. 3rd party graphics drivers taht did NOT come with the kernel)

also unless u plan on replacing ur kernel (not jsu thte modules) u don tneed to do make bzImage

No it should create a directory for the modules for each kernel eg.

/lib/modules/2.4.20-8
/lib/modules/2.6.0
