- This is a upgrade kit to help you go from a 1.0.x kernel to
- the 1.2.1 kernel. The source is not included, but you should be able
- to find it at tsx-11.mit.edu and sunsite.unc.edu at in the
- /pub/Linux/kernel/v1.2/linux-1.2.1.tar.gz file.
-
- Included is bdflush and the nettools package for 1.1.95 (1.2.0)
- are pre compiled and ready to install.
-
- bdflush is required, as it implements the new caching format begun
- in the early 1.1.x series. The NetTools is recommended, and should probably
- be installed as well.
-
- TO INSTALL:
- At this point, I still have the original makefile and Install.sh
- script. To install build the linux kernel (but don't reboot), and as root,
- type:
- make
- Install.sh
-
- Then reboot
-
- NOTE: Some installations have binaries in /sbin, while the install.sh
- is going to put the binaries in /bin. If you have binaries in /sbin,
- back them up, and rename them.
-
- ORIGINAL SOURCES:
- If you want to compile your own versions of the software, you
- can find the source code at:
- sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/kernel/v1.1/bdflush-1.5.tar.gz
- sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Network/sunacm/NetTools/net-tools-1.1.95.tar.gz
- sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/kernel/v1.2/linux-1.2.1.tar.gz
- You can also find them in the same directories on tsx-11.mit.edu
- along with sunsite's and tsx-11's mirrors.
-
- ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- bdflush compiled without any changes.
- NetTools compiled without:
- AX25 IPX
- APPLETALK
- but compiled with:
- AFUNIX AFINET
- ETHERNET SLIP
- PPP ARCNET
-
- If you need AX25, IPX, or Appletalk support, please get the original source
- and compile your own version.
-

- number 14.
