oke, so that's how it should be done.<br>i'm compiling the kernel at this moment.... should take a while.<br>now lets hope that wifi support has been made better and that suspend is working how it should :) <br><br>
But why isn't rpmbuild compiling all kernel rpm's if you leave out the --target? than it makes the kernel-headers rpm and a .src.rpm but nothing more.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2007/7/4, Toshio Kuratomi <
