Slackware kernel compiling guide?

flashingcurser · 02-06-2011, 10:06 AM

I haven't used slackware for many years. There used to be a sticky thread with a great kernel compiling guide for slackware. It feels somewhat unnatural to me to use slackware without a shiny new kernel. Does that guide still exist? I'm working from memory right now.

http://alien.slackbook.org/dokuwiki/...kernelbuilding is one. Personally, I don't share that opinion. I only build a custom kernel if I need it for some particular bit of hardware support. (Last time I did was while ath5k was in development; now it's mostly feature-complete, so I use the Slackware generic kernel.)

I think a link to that page should be stickied. It is the only guide that I have ever followed that produced a working kernel.

Thanks guys. My memory was pretty close and it works.
