How To Upgrade Linux To The 2.6 Kernel

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the practice-makes-perfect dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Here's a good computer project for the long labor-day weekend. KernelTrap has posted a howto detailing eight steps to upgrade your GNU/Linux OS from the 2.4 stable kernel to the 2.6.0-test development kernel. Complete with screen shots, the end result sounds to be well worth the effort." Since chances are most people will be upgrading anyway once 2.6 is deemed release-worthy, it's always worth learning the upgrade procedure well.

    Dear Slashdot Editor,

    i know these computer thingies are complicated and, at times, confusing.

    However, you might want to notice the distinction between the operating system (OS), which is called GNU/Linux, and the kernel called "Linux".

    With that in mind, re-read your headline please.

    kindest regards,

    Nils Juergens

    P.S: How about "How to upgrade your operating system to linux 2.6"?
