2.6 kernel and slackware 9.1

**bignester** · 02-06-2005

Do I need to upgrade any packages in slack 9.1 to use the 2.6.10 kernel.

**lakerdonald** · 02-06-2005

No, you should be fine.

second question
upgrading from apache 1.3 to 2.0 Is there anything I need to take into consideration or can I just install the packages

You can pretty much always "just install the packages", as it will yell at you about any missing dependencies you might have.

You should get the new module-init-tools when upgrading to a 2.6 kernel, else you might have problems loading modules and stuff.

I'd also suggest grabbing the new headers and re-compiling your tool-chain (glibc, gcc, binutils, zlib, ncurses, texinfo) with nptl.

Also, even if you don't recompile your toolchain with nptl, it's still a good idea to grab the newest versions anyway.
