well i putted cd1 in my pc in windows and found 4 files:

kernel-2.4.21.0.13mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm

kernel-enterprise-2.4.21.0.13mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm

kernel-secure-2.4.21.0.13mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm

kernel-smp-2.4.21.0.13mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm

hope it's 1 of those
and plz explain in steps caus i dont know how to install things etc etc

and sorry i ask so much about explaining and steps otherwise i dont understand it :/

those all look like precompiled kernels... perhaps you should check at mandrakelinux.com for the source for your kernel (your current kernel version can be found out by executing uname -a). then you can use the software installer in your startup menu to install the rpm. Mandrakelinux.com will probably have more detailed information on how to install stuff (as I don't use mandrake myself, not for the last 4 years anyway).

hth,
jpbarto

hmm well im pretty done with mandrake tbh
what do you use? and what should i try using?
i might burn 9.2RC2 and try that 1
who knows maybe it works better

the two distro's I use are slackware 9 and Linux From Scratch (LFS). I wouldn't recommend LFS for a newbie but Slackware is pretty nice.

mausie, via google I found the source rpm for the kernel-2.4.21.0.13mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm (I'm assuming this is the kernel you're using).

it can be downloaded from here:
kernel-2.4.21.0.13mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm

I think you can install it with 'rpm -i kernel-2.4.21 ... .rpm'

let me know if you need help.

jpbarto

i downloaded it
i gona go to bed now
ill check the forum tommorow again and would be cool if u posted step by step how to run that file
because i have no idea how to put it on a linux partition :/

many thnx
night night

to install the rpm 'cd' to the directory containing the downloaded rpm file.

then as root execute 'rpm -i kernel-2.4.21.0.13mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm'.

this should install the rpm (which will put all kinds of source code into /usr/src/).

then after that you should be able to build the fglrx module.

see you tomorrow and g'night.
jpbarto

i saved the file in
C:\
because i have no idea how to put it on a linux drive
well i tried
cd /c
cd /win_c

couldn't get in it
how do i get into C?
and if i cant how do i put it on a linux drive :/
i tried to use PartitionMagic 8.0 and click browse on linux partition
but nope.. i couldnt see the files

could you please type 'cat /etc/fstab' and let me know what output you get

/dev/hda6/ext3 default 1 1

none /dev/pts devpts mode= 0620 0 0

/dev/hda8/home ext 3 defaults 1 2

hehe better too many info than nothing :P

is the file anywhere in /mnt/win_c or /mnt/win_d?

C:\kernel-2.4.21.0.13mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm

so /mnt/win_c i guess
gona try it now

got this message:
package already installed
:S

so then what are the contents of /usr/src?

maussie, if /usr/src is still empty, then I'm sorry I may have sent you to the wrong rpm. try downloading this one (you should be able to do it using wget) and then perform 'rpm -i' on the downloaded file...

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat...1-1mdk.src.rpm

jpbarto is right you need the src kernel rpm to be installed

ok i runned it
i had no error and no succes message
i guess it's installed now
what now?
