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.

    As much as upgrading my kernel to 2.6.x interests me, I think I'll build that deck, instead. Maybe on some crappy, rainy weekend I'll play kernel games, but man, the sun is shining.

    if it were that easy then anyone could do it, why would you want that?
